Percy Pickwick 24 #24

After a quieter period, Percy H. W. Pickwick, the United Kingdom's most astute private detective since Sherlock Holmes, returns with a bang. Mysterious events threaten British society and even its island identity. Even the ex-Colonel breaks sacred traditions and shockingly drives in the right-hand lane! The highest authorities – above all the Royal Automobile Club – call Pickwick into action. Soon he comes upon a trail pointing to an infamous intrigue.

Eight years after his last appearance, it's back to the roots: author Zidrou sets the story in 1960 – the era in which Raymond Macherot created the first adventures of the gentleman detective. With artist Turk, who decisively shaped Pickwick in the 1970s, the Colonel feels not a bit older. One question remains open, however: what has become of his loyal housekeeper Miss Partridge?

• Humorous mystery with British flair
• Setting: 1960, classic retro charm
• Return of cult artist Turk and a story by Zidrou
• Ideal for fans of Franco-Belgian funnies and detective stories
