Boulouloum et Guiliguili #5

The fifth album in Dupuis' cheerful Franco-Belgian series finds Boulouloum and Guiliguili squarely in gorilla country, as the cover by Mazel puts the duo face-to-face — or rather fist-to-fist — with a powerful, looming gorilla in a lush jungle clearing. Mazel's expressive, rubbery linework captures both the comedy and the wild energy of the confrontation beautifully, with our plucky heroes looking considerably outmatched but no less spirited. "La saga des gorilles" promises an adventure full of the warm slapstick charm that made this 1982 series a delight for readers of all ages.
