Mamette #2

The second volume of Nob's charming French series finds Mamette — a rosy-cheeked, cheerful little old lady — rolling along a sun-dappled park path on her scooter, a duck watching from the grass nearby and a peaceful bench-lined lane stretching behind her. Bathed in warm golden light that perfectly suits the title L'Âge d'or ("The Golden Age"), the cover radiates a gentle, good-humored affection for its elderly heroine. Published by Glénat in 2007, this is wholesome, warm-hearted bande dessinée at its most inviting.
