Mes plus grands succès #[nn]

From Casterman's 2020 catalogue comes this self-deprecating delight by Stéphane Trapier — Mes plus grands succès ("My Greatest Hits"). The cover sets the tone perfectly: a bearded, bespectacled man lounges open-shirted in a grand wicker peacock chair, clutching what appears to be a small animal, while a pair of thigh-high boots completes the absurdly grandiose pose. It's a wonderfully deadpan image that promises sharp, knowing humor from a creator clearly willing to make himself the butt of the joke.
