Gaspard et le phylactère magique #[nn]

A young boy named Gaspard leaps gleefully across a spread of comic panels bursting with sound effects — "Bim!", "Bam!", "Kaboom!" — wielding what appears to be a magical speech bubble (phylactère) that crackles with lightning and brings the panels around him to life. The cover, by Dary, Roux, and Dawid, radiates playful energy, with colorful vignettes hinting at adventure, mischief, and the sheer joy of comics as a living, breathing world. Published by Mosquito in 2017, this is a delightful love letter to the art of bande dessinée itself.
