Les grands Classiques de la littérature en bande dessinée #1

Part of Le Monde's prestigious series bringing great literary works to the comics page, this Glénat volume adapts Jules Verne's beloved adventure Around the World in 80 Days. The cover sets the globe-trotting spirit perfectly — a dapper gentleman in top hat and cane strides forward alongside his hurrying companion, with a hot-air balloon, the Egyptian pyramids, Big Ben, a steam locomotive, and an elephant all sweeping across the horizon behind them. It's a handsome, inviting package that captures the breathless scope of Verne's 2016 adventure across continents and cultures in vivid bande dessinée style.
