Iznogoud is still trying to get rid of Caliph Haroun al Placid so he can take his place. He’s even kept a journal of his previous failed attempts. But, never discouraged, he will once again come up with new ways to entertain us through his failures: genies, kidnappings, lookalikes, diplomatic incidents… and even the Mongol horde! When it comes to becoming Caliph instead of the Caliph, all’s fair to Grand Vizier Iznogoud!
I love that cover. Lots of background and, of course, Iznogoud (“is no good”) uh, smiling…? I mention how the name is pronounced because people still ask me –I give up.
If you’ve not seen Goscinny and Tabary’s there are visual gags and lots of lovely comic strip cartooning that could teach a lot of wannabies “how to”. This is a series that youngsters as well as old ‘youngsters’ will enjoy. If even I chuckle it must be okay!
And this is the NINTH album in the series!
