Alter Ego #10

A striking diptych cover sets the tone for this 2014 Dupuis entry in the long-running Franco-Belgian series: on the left, a suited man sinks helplessly into deep blue water, while the right half fills with the imposing, close-cropped face of a bearded man — the contrast between vulnerability and dominance feels immediately charged. Saison 2's chapter titled "Gail" promises the psychological tension the series is known for, and the creative team of Renders, Lapière, Reynès, Bénéteau, Elias, and Erbetta brings that mood to life right from the cover.
