Lutin Spirix #[nn]

Presented by B-Gnet, this cheerful Franco-Belgian anthology from Warum/Vraoum bursts onto the page with a cover explosion straight out of a Saturday-morning cartoon — a chaotic, colorful cloud of smoke and mayhem framing a crowd of eccentric characters, a flying car, rockets, and all manner of gleeful nonsense. The title "Lutin Spirix" erupts from the chaos in bold pink lettering, setting a tone that's playfully anarchic from the very first glance. For fans of inventive European comics humor, this 2014 edition looks like exactly the kind of "scandalous publication" its own cover tagline cheekily warns you about.
