Achille Talon #[45]

A fitting tribute to one of Franco-Belgian comics' most beloved figures, this 2001 Dargaud album — billed as *le dernier album de Greg* — finds Achille Talon literally stepping behind the easel, painting a caricature of himself with paint-splattered jacket and characteristic good humor. Greg's cover is a wonderfully self-referential delight, the rotund everyman grinning as he brings his own likeness to life on canvas, surrounded by scattered art supplies. A warm and playful send-off to a series that charmed generations of readers.
