Ratafia #3

Set adrift on a raft made entirely of books, a swashbuckling bear pirate stands tall with cutlass and red parrot, while a smaller companion in a helmet quietly fishes from the edge — it's a wonderfully absurd image that captures the series' playful spirit perfectly. L'impossibilité d'une île is the third volume of Pothier & Salsedo's charming Franco-Belgian adventure, and if this cover is any indication, the storytelling remains as inventive and warmly humorous as ever. A delightful addition to any shelf from Vents d'Ouest's 2018 lineup.
