Les Nombrils #1

The first collected volume of Les Nombrils from Dupuis arrives with a title that says it all — Jeunes, belles et vaches (Young, Beautiful, and Mean). The cover sets the tone perfectly: two bubblegum-blowing fashionistas ride a motorcycle with a helmeted driver, while a gangly pink-hued girl looks on awkwardly, already the odd one out. By Delaf and Dubuc, this French-language series brings a sharp, stylish energy to high-school social dynamics with art that's as bold and colorful as its heroines.
