Anita Bomba #3

From Cromwell and Éric Gratien comes this unsettling third volume of *Anita Bomba*, subtitled *Le Retour de la Misère* — "The Return of Misery." The cover is dominated by a gaunt, decayed figure wearing bulky goggle-like lenses, rendered in murky greens and browns that give the whole image a genuinely haunting, post-apocalyptic atmosphere. Published by Albin Michel in 2006, this French album promises the kind of grim, inventive vision that makes this series so distinctive.
