Raoul Teigneux contre les Druzes #[nn]

From the irreverent pages of L'Écho des Savanes, Vuillemin and Berroyer's Raoul Teigneux contre les Druzes arrives in typically abrasive style — the cover features the scowling, leather-jacketed primate protagonist clutching a smaller, bewildered creature while trading blunt pronouncements ("Noir c'est noir!" / "Con c'est con…") in classic deadpan fashion. Behind him, a loose blue-ink industrial skyline of cranes and scaffolding sets a gritty, urban backdrop that contrasts perfectly with the bright pink-to-yellow palette of the central panel. Published by Albin Michel in 1984, this album is a fine example of the anarchic Franco-Belgian humor that made L'Écho des Savanes essential reading for anyone who liked their bandes dessinées with a sharp, unfiltered edge.
