Franky Snow #9

The ninth volume of Buche's Franky Snow brings the energetic young surfer to a sun-soaked tropical setting, where the cover finds him leaping gleefully through the air, surfboard raised high, with a beachside scene — complete with a thatched hut and a tumble of broken planks — unfolding beneath him. Published by Glénat in 2008, this Franco-Belgian series continues its bright, cartoony charm with a vivid blue sky and that signature rubber-limbed, larger-than-life enthusiasm Franky fans have come to love.
