Le guide mondial des records #[nn]

Against a police lineup backdrop with height markers stretching past 270 cm, Nicolas Barral's cover assembles a wonderfully eclectic cast: a towering muscular giant, a tiny sharply-dressed little person, an everyday young man in a blazer, a glamorous woman in a red dress cradling a small dog, and a heavily tattooed figure whose ink covers every visible inch of skin. Benacquista and Barral's 2017 Dargaud album promises a world tour through the extraordinary, using the lineup format to wink at just how varied — and delightfully strange — record-breaking humanity can be.
