Naguère les étoiles #5

The fifth volume of Bourhis and Spiessert's Naguère les étoiles arrives with a cover bursting with cheerful chaos — two kids ride a spotted cow across a vivid orange landscape, surrounded by a wonderfully odd cast including a robed monk, a gold-armored figure, muscled warriors, a king, a robot, and a menacing giant looming in the background. Subtitled Avant Naguère, this 2018 Delcourt/Shampooing release promises the same lively, irreverent energy that fans of the series have come to expect. If you like your adventures colorful, crowded, and just a little absurd, this one looks like a very good time.
