Le Donjon de Naheulbeuk #14

The lush, sun-dappled forest setting of this fourteenth volume in the beloved Le Donjon de Naheulbeuk series sets a lighthearted adventurous tone right from the cover, where a colorful ensemble of fantasy characters — a mounted blonde elf, pointy-eared companions, a burly dwarf in the foreground, and a pair of figures perched high in the branches above — gathers beneath a sprawling ancient tree. Lang and Poinsot bring their signature cartoonish warmth to every corner of the image, from the hanging bananas overhead to the gleefully chaotic crowd below. If you've been following this fan-favorite French fantasy comedy since the beginning, Tome 14 (2014, Clair de Lune) looks every bit as fun and packed with personality as the series deserves.
