Rubrique-à-brac intégrale #[nn]

Gotlib's beloved Rubrique-à-brac gets the complete-collection treatment in this handsome Dargaud intégrale, gathering the full run of one of French comics' most cherished humor series. The vibrant red cover says it all: a hapless, bespectacled everyman is spread-eagled in a gleeful parody of Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man, all gangly limbs and rumpled undershirt, perfectly capturing the strip's gift for turning high culture into gleeful absurdity. For fans who grew up with Gotlib's anarchic wit, or readers discovering it fresh in 2002, this is a wonderfully complete way to experience it all in one volume.
