Adostars #1

From Bercovici and Noblet comes this charming opener to the Adostars series, subtitled Presque célèbres ("Almost Famous") — and the cover sets the tone perfectly. Four mismatched teens (including a anthropomorphic dog in a cap, slurping a drink) lounge on a yellow sofa under a spotlight, armed with a keytar, a notebook, and teenage attitude, while a frenzied crowd below waves lighters and early-2000s flip phones in adoration. It's a warm, witty snapshot of adolescent dreams of stardom that makes this 2007 Dupuis album a genuinely fun addition to any Franco-Belgian comics shelf.
