Garage Isidore #3

The third volume in Dupuis' cheerful Garage Isidore series brings a chaotic roadside rescue to life, with a bright yellow tow truck in the foreground hauling a spectacularly overturned red car that's spewing smoke and spinning its wheels in the air. Writer Olis and artist Gilson pack plenty of slapstick energy into the cover scene, capturing the frantic, good-humored spirit the series is known for. If crumpled fenders, winding country roads, and mechanically challenged motorists are your kind of comedy, this 1996 Dupuis album — subtitled Silence, on tracte — delivers the goods with a smile.
