Mon ami Grompf #3

The third volume of Nob's charming French series finds the gentle giant Grompf sharing a park bench with two small children, his enormous brown form dwarfing them in the most endearing way possible. Subtitled Cœur de géant — "Heart of a Giant" — the cover perfectly captures the series' warmth, with a pink butterfly fluttering nearby and a sunny green backdrop that sets a wonderfully lighthearted tone. Published by Glénat in 2007, this is all-ages Franco-Belgian comics storytelling at its most inviting.
