Le Petit Spirou #1

This charming French-language collection from Dupuis brings readers the mischievous world of Le Petit Spirou, the beloved younger incarnation of the classic Belgian comics hero. The cover's simple, playful design sets a lighthearted tone perfectly suited to the school-day misadventures promised by the subtitle Premier en annerie — roughly "top of the class in nonsense." A wonderful entry point into Tome and Janry's irresistibly fun take on childhood chaos, published in 2010.
