Suske en Wiske Pocket #38

This compact pocket edition of the beloved Belgian series Suske en Wiske packs plenty of chaotic energy into its cheerful cover, where a vintage yellow automobile goes airborne while bundles of cash scatter across a green hillside. A pair of shifty-looking thieves scramble in the foreground — one clutching money bags, another wide-eyed at the mayhem — as two figures in the car seem utterly unconcerned by their gravity-defying situation. A great 2014 entry point into Willy Vandersteen's enduring world of slapstick adventure, and at a handy pocket size, it's easy to take the fun anywhere.
