Les Gendarmes - Intégrale #7

The seventh Les Gendarmes omnibus from Bamboo Édition collects another round of bumbling-but-lovable gendarmerie misadventures, and the cover sets the tone perfectly: two wide-eyed officers look on in stunned disbelief as a speed camera goes up in spectacular flames, while a third gendarme in full gear makes a hasty retreat on a motorcycle. It's the kind of gloriously chaotic scene that has made this French humor series such an enduring pleasure, with Jenfèvre, Sulbor, and Crénove's expressive cartooning capturing the comedy of official incompetence at its finest. A great way to catch up on a generous chunk of the series in one satisfying 2013 package.
