Synopsis
The early-1960s Gil Jordan adventure "Ten Thousand Years in Hell" marks a sharp departure from the moody, urban detective thrillers of Jordan's previous adventures: instead it turns into a rollicking, comedic South American prison escape yarn. "Boom and Bust" finds a countryside jaunt turned into an ad hoc investigation by a spectacular vehicular washout and a suspiciously noisy enclosure. Tillieux's masterful graphic novel series remind the reader why he was considered one of the top Franco-Belgian cartoonists of the time: of any time.
