20 ans de guerre #[nn]

A striking collaboration between Blary and Loiselet, this 2010 Le Lombard volume presents a haunting cover where a young woman's face dominates the foreground, rendered in delicate watercolor, while soldiers in combat gear emerge from a fragmented, blood-red collage of wartime imagery behind her. The cool blue-grey tones of the fractured border contrast beautifully with the warm crimson at the center, giving the whole composition an almost dreamlike tension. If you appreciate thoughtful, artistically ambitious French-language comics that treat war as something felt as much as fought, *20 ans de guerre* looks like a compelling addition to your shelf.
