Iznogud #6

The scheming Grand Vizier Iznogud rockets skyward atop a geyser of water on the beach, much to the alarm of three bewildered vacationers below — one in a polka-dot swimsuit clutching a bucket and spade, another in a tourist T-shirt, and a third in a garish pink outfit — while a crocodile lurks ominously in the foreground surf. Jean Tabary's expressive linework and vivid colors bring this sun-soaked chaos to life with irresistible comic energy. Published by Egmont Polska in 2002, this Polish edition of the beloved Przygody Wielkiego Wezyra Iznoguda series — written by René Goscinny and Marek Puszczewicz — promises that even a seaside holiday is no holiday from Iznogud's relentless scheming.
