Jésus et les copains #[nn]

From Fluide Glacial publisher Audie comes this delightfully irreverent French comedy presented as a full-color roman-photo — that distinctly European tradition of storytelling through posed photography rather than drawn art. The cover, by Dimitri Planchon, sets the playful tone immediately: a mustachioed man in a red sweater strikes a crucifixion pose with arms outstretched, glowing halo behind his head, while a wide-eyed redheaded woman looks on in dramatic distress against a cheerful pastoral backdrop. Jésus et les copains wears its satirical ambitions right on its sleeve, and this 2005 color edition promises the kind of warm, absurdist humor that Fluide Glacial has long made its specialty.
