Guust chronologisch #1

This handsome Dutch-language collection opens with a gloriously close-up portrait of Gaston Lagaffe himself — that mop of dark hair, the sleepy eyes, and his ever-present pencil tucked in the corner of his mouth filling the cover almost entirely. Credited to Franquin and Jidéhem, the clean, bright design signals a thoughtful chronological repackaging of the beloved Belgian strip for 2020 readers. A great starting point for anyone ready to experience Gaston's cheerful chaos from the very beginning.
