Quand j'étais star #[nn]

From Peyraud and Villard comes this charming French-language album published by Casterman in 2008. The cover sets a breezy, nostalgic tone, gathering four expressive characters around a director's chair — a bespectacled figure seated front and center, flanked by two blondes and a suited drummer with his snare — hinting at a world of showbiz, music, and faded glamour. Quand j'étais star looks like a witty, warmly drawn look back at a life lived in the spotlight.
