The thirteenth comic: #277 Iznogoud: The Caliph's Vacation
Puntastic is how I described the series to Peter when I picked this, although I must admit I had forgotten how many there were in here (with regular fourth wall breaking to point out how bad some of them were.
The concept is simple: our antihero wants to be caliph instead of the caliph. He does so through all sorts of convoluted plans which (as you'd expect) always end up going wrong somewhere.
Created by Goscinny and Tabary, the former one of the creators of Asterix, it has a similar sense of humour, but with more subversive storylines. Focusing on an anithero makes that clear, with usccess often a small step away - or as often staying far off - but with just enough bad luck that you want to keep rooting for him to see where else he goes wrong.
I loved this comic as a kid, often renting volumes from the library (there were more Dutch translations). I didn't adore it as much this time as I did them, but it's still good enough that I'm glad I had a chance to read this.
