"As improbable as a wrestling fight between Desmond Tutu and the Incredible Hulk, Christophe Lambert's convoluted and deconstructed line meets the elegance of Nicolas Robel's design. In a staging close to the exercise of style, where the incredible situations follow one another but do not resemble each other, "Cadavre Exquis" offers on arrival a story without tail or head or what goes in between, but damn funny and surprising! In this powerful delirium of nonsense drawn by four hands, we meet Sacha Distel, a cat-dog, an Italian penguin who talks with his hands, and of course, one or two monsters! This book, the first of the "X" collection entirely screen-printed, devilishly flatters our senses: the eye, but also smell and touch. More than a simple book, “Cadavre Exquis” benefited from the know-how characteristic of the publications of B.ü.L.b comix. A real “book-object”, as the master of ceremonies so fond of saying."
Google translate did a pretty good job with the French I found online!
