Loa #1

Two wild-haired riders tear through the sky on a rumbling motorcycle, a wide-eyed round-headed figure clinging to the front as lush green landscape stretches far below — Guillaume Stey's linework crackles with kinetic energy right from the opening page of this 2014 Delcourt series. A small frog perched on the back rider's shoulder adds a touch of quirky charm to what already feels like a big, adventurous world. Loa Tome 1 announces itself as the kind of all-ages French BD that pulls you in immediately and doesn't let go.
