Gaston #9

This handsome 2011 Marsu Productions collection gathers Gaston's misadventures from les années 1968–1969, offering a generous helping of the beloved Belgian series in one compact volume. The cover, signed by Franquin, shows Gaston himself caught in a swirling, chaotic vortex of his own making — launched skyward amid a thunderous PPCHH sound effect — capturing perfectly the cheerful, accident-prone spirit that made the character so endearing. A fine addition to any Franco-Belgian comics shelf, this ninth volume showcases Franquin's instantly recognizable linework at its most playfully expressive.
