Les Aventures de Sarkozix #2

The second volume of this French political parody series from Delcourt delivers its subtitle right on the cover: Et ils coulèrent des jours heureux… — a wry twist on "happily ever after." The cover shows a suited, laurel-crowned caricature and an elegantly dressed woman standing together on a golden shield, surrounded by flood waters and half-submerged ruins, with grasping hands reaching up from below — a wonderfully absurdist image that sets the satirical tone perfectly. Lupano, Bazile, and Maffre clearly aren't shy about skewering political life with wit and a generous splash of Asterix-flavored chaos.
