Un jour sans Jésus #2

The second volume of Un jour sans Jésus arrives from Vents d'Ouest with a cover that perfectly captures its blend of biblical setting and gentle comedy — a burly, richly robed figure dominates the foreground, tenderly cradling a small white dove while a crowd of period-dressed figures mills about in the background. Created by Juncker and Pacheco, the series clearly delights in finding humor within an ancient world rendered in warm, expressive linework. If the first book left you curious, this 2017 installment looks poised to deepen the fun.
