La merveilleuse histoire des éditions Roa #[nn]

A rich collector's treasure from Mosquito, this 2012 volume by Laurent Lefeuvre celebrates the storied history of Éditions Roa, one of France's fondly remembered publishers. The cover is a glorious mosaic of vintage Roa comic and adventure book covers — featuring titles such as Zorro, Corak, Panache, Zatchick, B Saloon, and many more — evoking the vibrant, colorful energy of mid-century French popular publishing. If you have a soft spot for the golden age of Franco-Belgian adventure serials and pulp illustration, this is an essential and joyful retrospective to have on your shelf.
