Gus & His Gang by Christophe Blain

5.0

---

Now, let it be known, I am the biggest fan of French cartooning and Chris Blain is a perfect example of all the things I love about the French - movement, perfectly used brush strokes, cartoony but charming beautiful characters and settings and bold colors. Gus and his gang is not a lot about Gus, per se, but rather, focuses on his gang’s exploits robbing banks and picking up chicks (or not so successfully picking up chicks) in the Wild West. These characters are charming tramps, oafs who constantly blunder most aspects of their lives EXCEPT being good at being outlaws. The highlight of this book, for me, was the character Clem and his romances with two very different but equally badass, interesting Western women.
