Les Gendarmes #9

The ninth volume of this cheerful French comedy series brings another round of small-town policing mayhem, with the cover setting the tone perfectly: a flustered gendarme clutches a bouquet of flowers while a helmeted motorcyclist and a young woman steal the scene on a gleaming red bike, as a female officer looks on with amusement. Created by Jenfèvre, Sulpice, and Cazenove, Les Gendarmes has a warm, knockabout charm that makes each album a pleasure. "Un homme donneur !" promises the kind of good-natured mischief that fans of this Bamboo Édition series have come to love since the first volume.
