The World Book of Records

The World Book of Records

Script by Tonino Benacquista - Art by Nicolas Barral

Egg-balancing, hotdog-eating, baton-twirling—these are a few of the records people try to break in order to find themselves included in the World Book of Records. For those who make into the book, Paul Baron, a judge at the publication, is a hero. For others, whose dreams he denies, he’s a villain. After one man’s plan to achieve renown is destroyed, Paul learns that the man may have lost everything else, but he hasn’t lost hope—the hope of joining other record-breakers in the book. But the record the man hopes to break is terrible, and Paul unfortunately has a role in his project.

“The art in this volume crosses the line excellently, between a gorgeously realistically rendered world and the slightly caricatured facial features that we often see in European comics.” Down the Tubes
