Jack Palmer #3

A delightful slice of French bande dessinée humor, this 1983 Albin Michel volume finds the rumpled detective Jack Palmer stretched out lazily beside a bright orange camping tent on a grassy clifftop — while an enormous hollow tooth looms surreally from the sea behind him. René Pétillon's clean, expressive linework perfectly captures the absurdist charm that makes the Les Aventures de Jack Palmer series such a treat. Whether Palmer is blissfully unaware of the giant molar at his back or simply unbothered, the cover promises a comedy adventure with plenty of wit.
