AK #2

A small, googly-eyed creature lies tucked into a hospital bed beneath crisp white sheets, a heart-monitor line tracing across the cover beside the word Maladie — it's a deadpan, quietly charming image that sets a wry, offbeat tone. Created by Calvo, Krassinsky, and Schwendimann for Éditions Carabas, this 2006 French album promises the kind of dry humor and distinctive visual sensibility that makes AK such a refreshing find. If you're drawn to comics that lean into absurdist warmth rather than action-page spectacle, this second volume looks like exactly your kind of read.
