A fun read from Peyo. I would share this with kids. (

Uberstrong Benny Breakiron's friend Madame Adolphine inexplicably seems to have turned into a super villain overnight, but the solution to the mystery reveals Madame Adolphine's innocence and had Benny chasing a completely (or at least somewhat) different culprit. I read this comic when I was little (although in the Swedish translation and Benny's name was Starke Staffan) and I find that I still enjoy the humor and the drawings very much. The plot is interesting enough and Benny's weakness (the common cold) of course sets in the second he is in most need of his supernatural strength. Really enjoyable example of a Franco-Belgian comic.
