Marsupilami #3

Volume 3 of the beloved Marsupilami series brings us Mars le noir, featuring a wonderfully expressive black Marsupilami caught mid-tumble on a clean, cream-toned cover — all wild eyes, splayed limbs, and that impossibly long tail curling playfully above. The minimalist design by Batem lets the character's irresistible energy speak for itself, and the bonus content promises treat after treat: Franquin's original Marsupilami, the mini-récit Noël d'un Bagarreur, and a selection of rare drawings. A delightful 2012 package for fans of this enduring Franco-Belgian treasure.
