Pico Bogue #3

The third volume of Dargaud's charming Pico Bogue series arrives with a cover that perfectly captures its hero's restless energy — a red-haired boy bracing against a gust of wind, hair flying wildly as he clings to a small striped toy near a set of wide-open windows looking out onto a blustery sky. Question d'Équilibre ("A Matter of Balance") promises exactly the kind of breezy, life-is-an-adventure spirit that makes this Franco-Belgian series such a delight. Published in 2009, it's an appealing addition for fans of thoughtful, warmly illustrated comics for all ages.
