Sardine de l'espace #2

The second volume of Joann Sfar and Emmanuel Guibert's wildly inventive space-adventure series bursts onto the scene with a vivid green cover packed with delightful chaos — a grinning giant space pirate towers over Sardine and her young companion, while a motley crew of weird little alien creatures swarms the background. The subtitle Zacar et les Zacariens hints at the mischief in store, and the sheer energy of the artwork makes it impossible not to smile. A charming French-language gem from Dargaud, this 2007 volume is exactly the kind of all-ages comics fun that reminds you why the medium is so special.
