La Vavache #3

This third album in Virginie Vertonghen and Carine De Brab's cheerful Franco-Belgian series finds La Vavache — the stylish cartoon cow — zooming along on roller skates against a vivid red-orange background, with a frantic little yellow creature scrambling to keep up behind her. The energy on this cover is immediately infectious, perfectly capturing the playful, fast-moving spirit of a series built around colorful characters and lighthearted fun. If you're looking for an all-ages bande dessinée with a big personality at its center, Cousin Pinpin (2009) is a wonderfully entertaining addition to the collection.
