The best comic in the world

A single-issue comic from the French publisher Monsieur Pop Corn, The Best Comic in the World (2017) is a self-contained, tongue-in-cheek statement of intent. Its title is the premise, and the book's creators deliver a compact, playful exploration of what makes a comic truly great. It stands as a brief, clever artifact of contemporary European comics, a one-shot that lives up to its boast through sheer confidence and craft.
