Gaston #0

Numbered zero and subtitled Les Archives de la Gaffe, this Dupuis collection is the perfect starting point for discovering Franquin's lovably accident-prone office slacker. The cover sets the tone beautifully: Gaston himself, red bow tie and all, sheepishly peering around the door marked "Spirou Rédaction" — looking every bit as though he's already caused some unseen catastrophe just inside. A warm and witty introduction to the world of Belgian comics' most endearing underachiever, published in 2017 by Dupuis.
