The daily misadventures of mischievous Belgian youngster Albert, as recounted in comic strip form by legendary "ligne claire" cartoonist Yves Chaland.
The art of Yves Chaland ("Chaland Anthology - Freddy Lombard Vol. 1 et 2") tackles many different universes and genres. In the case of "Young Albert," the author sarcastically explores intimate, everyday events in a largely autobiographical way. Mastering both art and writing skills in his short time on earth, Yves Chaland, is remembered as a genius who tragically left us to soon, but who thankfully gifted us a body of work that lives on as a major contributions to the world of comics.

The three tales here, linked by a common character - a lean, blond man capable of amazing feats - about small towns threatened by bigness.
In The Cruise of Lost Souls (1975), weird military-scientific testing threatens an agricultural village; in Ship of Stone (1976), resort developers want to erase a Breton fishing village; and in The Town That Didn't Exist (1977), a conglomerate plans to scuttle the factory on which the livelihood of little Jedancourt depends.
With the help of the supernatural forces the blond can rally, the towns fight back. The stories are equally beautiful, but each is less comical and more humorous than its predecessor.
