  The best of the Jo, Zette and Jocko Albums

  Besides working on his famous Tintin series, Belgian comic book artist Herge also worked on a parallel series, Jo, Zette and Jocko (a boy, a girl and their pet monkey). He made three albums in this series (the first two were double albums, so you could also say he made five). The albums were somewhat more childish than the Tintin books, but the last one, The Valley of the Cobras, made in 1957 (two decades after the previous ones), is a very good work, at the level of some of the best of the Tintin albums. It's about Jo and Zette going to northern India to accompany their father, an engineer, who is under contract to build a bridge for a very childish Maharajah (a great comic creation). The engineer and his children are confronted by an evil gang led by a fakir who is set to lose revenue from pilgrims if the bridge is built. All in all, a very entertaining book.
