Une Aventure Intersidérante de Splash Gordon dans Mongo Fury #[nn]

Published by Albin Michel in 2008, this French-language parody adventure from Pixel Vengeur sends the blonde, red-suited Splash Gordon into an over-the-top interstellar showdown on the planet Mongo. The cover sets the tone perfectly: a wide-eyed, rubbery villain looms large while Splash hoists a hapless figure overhead, with inset medallions teasing a master of the universe, bird-men, and monsters lurking throughout the pages. It's a gleefully irreverent send-up of classic sci-fi serials, published by l'Écho des Savanes, that wears its absurdist humor proudly.
