Appelle-moi Ferdinand #[nn]

A quiet tension hums across this Futuropolis release from Durieux, Bourhis, and Conty, whose cover arranges the story in a series of roadside panels — a highway overpass with trucks rolling past, a lone blue car drifting through the frame, and a bearded man at the wheel, his gaze heavy with unspoken weight. The comic-strip layout draws the eye through windshields and rearview mirrors, hinting at a journey where the road itself feels as much interior as exterior. Appelle-moi Ferdinand looks like exactly the kind of French graphic novel — grounded, atmospheric, and quietly literary — that Futuropolis does so well.
