Achille Talon #[25]

Greg's beloved French everyman Achille Talon returns in this 1980 Dargaud album, "Achille Talon et l'esprit d'Éloi," and the cover sets a wonderfully chaotic tone — a large, grinning ghost looms over a rattling green vintage automobile packed with startled passengers, all rendered in Greg's instantly recognizable rubbery style. The contrast between the cheerful specter and the wide-eyed riders in that little car captures exactly the comic panic Greg does so well. A delightful slice of Franco-Belgian humor from one of its most distinctive solo voices.
