Parker & Badger #5

The fifth volume of Cuadrado's cheerful Franco-Belgian series finds Parker squeezing Badger in an affectionate — if slightly suffocating — bear hug, hearts floating in the air while a couple of bystanders look on in the background. The title Mon Frère, Ce Blaireau ("My Brother, That Badger") perfectly captures the warm, exasperated sibling energy radiating from the cover's bright, clean cartooning. A delightful 2007 entry from Dupuis that promises plenty of brotherly chaos between these two lovable characters.
