Amen #1

Georges Bess opens this ambitious series — subtitled Ishoa ou la Précession des Équinoxes — with a cover image that immediately signals something unsettling and visionary. A robed figure wearing insectoid goggles and a respirator sits suspended against a stark white void, their body pierced and overwhelmed by a dense, writhing tangle of cables, tubes, and hoses that erupt upward like a grotesque mechanical crown, while one bare leg dangles loose beneath the flowing red robes. The collision of the quasi-sacred and the deeply technological makes this 2021 Comix Buro release a genuinely arresting start to what promises to be a bold, strange journey.
