A new Gaston Lagaffe album arrives without Franquin's hand behind it
"Des boum et des paf", published by Dupuis, is only the second Gaston Lagaffe book not written and drawn by the character's creator André Franquin.
Dupuis has released a new Gaston Lagaffe album, "Des boum et des paf", printed in a run of one million copies, according to Le Monde. The book is cosigned by Delaf and Lewis Trondheim, making it only the second Gaston Lagaffe album not credited to the character's creator, the Belgian cartoonist André Franquin.
Le Monde describes the album as funny and tender, continuing the gentle slapstick register associated with the gaffe-prone office clerk Franquin created decades ago for the magazine Spirou.
No further details on the album's contents, format or release date were given in the source material.
