Les aventures ahurissantes de Benjamin Blackstone #1

The opening volume of Les aventures ahurissantes de Benjamin Blackstone arrives with a cover that promises swashbuckling fun: a tall, dapper gentleman in a black coat brandishes a pistol while shielding a young boy clutching a sword, the two of them surrounded by a colorful crowd of pirates, adventurers, and exotic figures pressing in from a lush jungle backdrop. Casado, Perge, and Rivière set a spirited, globe-trotting tone with L'île de la jungle, evoking classic adventure serials with a distinctly stylish European flair. A fine pick for readers of all ages who enjoy their escapades served with elegance and just a hint of chaos.
