Olivier Rameau #5

The fifth volume of Dany and Greg's beloved Franco-Belgian series finds young Olivier Rameau riding atop what appears to be a tank or armored vehicle, careening through a star-strewn, surreal landscape beneath a blazing orange moon — with wide-eyed companions and a striking blonde figure in the foreground reacting to the chaos around them. Le Grand Voyage en Absurdie promises exactly the kind of gleefully imaginative adventure the title suggests, blending whimsy and visual energy in the tradition that made this series so endearing. Published by Joker Éditions in 2005, it's a wonderful entry point — or a satisfying reunion — with one of European comics' most charmingly eccentric worlds.
