Franky Snow #5

Volume 5 of Buche's sun-soaked Franco-Belgian series finds Franky Snow airborne and grinning wildly on a kiteboard, towed by lines stretching high into a blazing orange sky alongside a pair of startled seagulls. Down on the beach below, a small crowd of onlookers watches the chaos unfold near a lifeguard shack, hinting at the cheerful slapstick energy Glénat delivered to readers in 2003. If you like your extreme sports served with a generous helping of cartoon comedy, this one's hard to resist.
