Adam et Eve #1

The French edition of *Adam et Eve* launches with a striking first volume from writer Hideo Yamamoto and artist Ryoichi Ikegami, published by Kazé in 2017. The cover sets an immediately arresting tone: a sharply dressed man holding a glass of whiskey is dwarfed by an enormous robotic or prosthetic hand looming in the foreground, suggesting a world where humanity and technology exist in uneasy proximity. Ikegami's characteristically sleek, detailed linework gives both figures a cool, cinematic presence that makes this opener hard to put down.
