Alter Ego #6

The split cover for this 2011 Dupuis release tells its own quiet, unsettling story: on the left, a young man stands arms-crossed in a dim, bar-shadowed corridor bathed in eerie green light, while on the right, an oversized, eerily serene face looms close-eyed and luminous — two presences that feel like two sides of the same fractured psyche. The "Jonas" subtitle and the series' title, Alter Ego, frame this duality perfectly, promising a psychologically charged narrative. Renders, Lapière, Zuga, and Erbetta bring a cool, atmospheric visual style that makes this sixth volume feel genuinely compelling.
