Les Aventures prodigieuses de Tartarin de Tarascon #2

Based on Alphonse Daudet's beloved comic novel, this second volume from Delcourt brings the irrepressible Tartarin de Tarascon to vivid life on a striking blue-toned cover. The rotund, mustachioed adventurer stands center stage in his red fez and baggy white trousers, rifle in hand, with a camel looming behind him against a North African backdrop — all rendered with warm humor by Isabelle Merfet and Jean-Jacques Rouger. Published in 2010, it's a charming adaptation that captures both the grandeur of Daudet's daydreaming hero and the gentle comedy that has made Tartarin an enduring figure in French literature.
