Sardine de l'espace #1

A plucky red-haired girl soars through a star-filled cosmos, sword in hand, with a mischievous black cat perched on her oversized blue hat — together they look ready for anything the universe can throw at them. This first volume of Sardine de l'espace, created by Joann Sfar and Emmanuel Guibert, brings a wonderfully chaotic energy to all-ages space adventure, with quirky alien creatures dotting the background of a cover that's equal parts swashbuckling and delightfully silly. Published by Dargaud in 2007, it's a charming entry point into a series that clearly has its own irreverent, imaginative spirit.
