Game of Crowns #3

The third volume of Baba, Tartuff, and Lapuss' satirical series delivers more regal absurdity with King Size — and the cover sets the tone perfectly: a tiny, wide-eyed blonde child clutches a golden goblet atop an enormous, precarious throne built entirely from swords, weapons, and armored remnants. It's a wonderfully deadpan visual joke that captures the series' talent for deflating epic fantasy pretensions with cheerful, cartoon irreverence. Fans of sharp political parody wrapped in playful European ligne claire style will find plenty to enjoy in this 2019 Casterman release.
