Idées noires - L'intégrale

Franquin, best known for his work on Spirou et Fantasio and Gaston Lagaffe, turned to a darker, more cynical register with Idées noires. This collection from publisher Audie gathers his caustic one-page gags and short strips, originally published in the 1970s and 1980s, that skewer human cruelty, environmental folly, and the absurdities of modern life with a razor-sharp, often macabre wit. A stark departure from his more famous comedic work, it remains a bracing showcase of his range as both a writer and artist.
