Les exploits de Quick et Flupke - Recueil #1

Published by Casterman in 1975, this first collected volume (Recueil 1) gathers Hergé's charming short-form adventures featuring the mischievous Brussels street kids Quick and Flupke. The bright green cover sets the tone perfectly: the two boys zoom along a city pavement in a homemade go-kart, leaving a hapless policeman scrambling to catch up behind them. It's a snapshot of the playful, good-natured chaos that made Hergé's pint-sized duo such endearing companions to generations of Franco-Belgian comics readers.
