"Atar Gull" ou le destin d'un esclave modèle #[nn]

A striking graphic adaptation of Eugène Sue's 19th-century tale, this 2011 Dargaud album brings the story of Atar Gull to life with Fabien Nury and Brüno's unmistakable vision. Brüno's cover is immediately arresting — a monumental, silhouetted African face dominates a burnt-orange sky, while below, a colonial military coat and a procession of figures moving through cornfields evoke the brutal realities of the slave trade, with ships visible on the distant horizon. It's a powerful, graphic composition that sets a weighty, deeply human tone for everything that follows.
