Jerome K. Jerome Bloks #28

The twenty-eighth volume of Alain Dodier's long-running Belgian series finds Jerome K. Jerome Bloks at what appears to be a formal civil ceremony — a wedding, it seems, visible in the background where a couple stands before an official wearing a tricolor sash. Jerome himself dominates the foreground, sharp in a teal blazer and neckerchief, his expression intent and watchful as he leans over a document. Dodier's clean, elegant ligne claire linework remains as appealing as ever, and this 2022 Dupuis installment — subtitled "In goede en slechte tijden" ("In Good and Bad Times") — promises the kind of sophisticated, character-driven storytelling that has made this series a staple of European comics.
