Les Gendarmes #13

Volume 13 of Les Gendarmes arrives with a cover that sets the comedic tone perfectly: three wide-eyed gendarmes stand slack-jawed on a roadside as a speed camera goes up in spectacular flames behind them, while a fourth officer in full riot gear calmly looks on nearby. The subtitle Gendarmes à feu ! says it all — this Bamboo Édition entry from 2010 promises the kind of gloriously absurd situational humor the series does so well. If you enjoy French comedy comics where authority and chaos collide in the most undignified ways possible, this one belongs on your shelf.
