Léonard #50

A milestone fiftieth album for the beloved Belgian comedy series, Génie, Vidi, Vinci! arrives with a cover that playfully riffs on da Vinci's Vitruvian Man — except the famous anatomical study has been cheekily replaced with a caricature of Léonard's hapless disciple, much to the bearded genius's wide-eyed, slack-jawed astonishment. Burk and Zidrou keep the humor sharp and the art wonderfully expressive, capturing everything that has made this series a fixture of Franco-Belgian comics for decades. A fun pick-up for longtime fans celebrating this round-number landmark with the old master and his long-suffering companion.
