Pirat's #1

From Fluide Glacial's Pirat's imprint comes this gleefully unhinged album by Philuc — Gaz à Tous les Étages — where a chaotic swarm of bug-eyed, goggle-wearing critters tumbles across the cover in a cloud of smoke, syringes, and general mayhem. The cover art bursts with anarchic energy, every inch crammed with frantic cartoon creatures in various states of wild-eyed panic and mischief. If you enjoy French comics that lean hard into absurdist humor, this 2013 release looks like a wonderfully messy good time.
