Lucien #2

Frank Margerin's Lucien returns with "Bananes métalliques," and the cover sets the tone perfectly — Lucien, pompadour proudly intact and cassette player in hand, navigates a chaotic beach scene packed with lounging, sunbathing characters in various states of leisure and comic disarray. Published by Audie's Fluide Glacial imprint in 2008, this second volume showcases Margerin's warmly irreverent take on working-class French youth culture, where rock 'n' roll attitude meets everyday absurdity. If you're a fan of sharp, affectionate humor drawn with loose, expressive flair, this one belongs on your shelf.
