Les amours compliquées de Roméo & Juliette #2

From Bamboo Édition comes the second volume of Les amours compliquées de Roméo & Juliette, and the cover sets a wonderfully playful tone: a cheerful blonde girl cradles a pair of tiny birds in a sunny garden while a cheeky, leafy-clad Romeo balances atop a stone pedestal inscribed "L'Amour," a pink heart floating between them. The comedy is already in full swing overhead, where a pair of disembodied hands dangles a heavy armchair above the scene — love, it seems, is never without its complications. Created by Erroc and Rodrigue, this 2011 French-language charmer looks like a delightful blend of slapstick and romance for readers of all ages.
