Excellent back-story of colonel Amos, head of special investigative body tasked with finding XIII in original story arc. story starts as standard counter-espionage chase but evolves into something very different.

I liked the twist a lot (won't spoil anything here).

Recommended.
More absurd humour from the intrepid insurance salesman Fré van der Mugge (Jérôme Moucherot in the original). This volume contains a bunch of short stories. A highpoint is the homage to Little Nemo, 'Een droom in een glas water', a beautiful dream sequence ending with Fré on the wrong side of a mirror and forced to watch Fré's wife schmoozing with her dream lover.

I still prefer 'Tanden van de Haai', but this volume is well worth it as well.
Satirical comic about our hero Rock Mastard saving humanity from the offspring of the Fuhrer himself, helped by none other than what looks like Fré van der Mugge. Every chapter starts with a recap of what went before, hilarious in itself.

Loved it!
A gross and fairly stupid western about wooden, nasty characters out for information from and/or revenge on each other after the diamond from a jewel heist goes missing.
