Sergio Toppi - Le collectionneur

About the book:

Far away from the quiet auctions, the Collector is hunting down the stolen work of art. This elegant dandy is as much at ease with the Dayaks than Lupin with the rich crowd, with an extra bit of crime. Vulgar folks, beware, bad manners will bring you nothing but a quick death. The cruel chitchat of colonials heroes, pillage masters and florentine ambushes is spreading from the Bornéo Jungle to the Afghans plateaux. The Collector, a well rotten aristocrat, is running after all the Tributes of the Maltese Falcons offered by Toppi, this brilliant geo-graphic designer of Adventures.

Toppi's only series following a recurrent character's adventures, five volumes with this antihero, half-dandy half-criminal, always searching for mystical artefacts.

The Collector has been awarded the "Soleil d'or" for Best Series during the Sollies-Ville festival in 2006.
