Aya de Yopougon #6

The sixth and final volume of Marguerite Abouet and Clément Oubrerie's celebrated series arrives with a cover that puts three young women front and center — one in a bold yellow printed dress and gold hoop earrings, another in a patterned top with braids and beads, and a third hanging back in a pink top with a watchful, uncertain expression. Set against the lush greens and street-life backdrop of Yopougon, Oubrerie's artwork captures the trio mid-moment, their faces full of attitude, wariness, and unspoken drama. A warm, funny, and deeply human series rooted in Ivory Coast neighborhood life, this 2010 finale is a satisfying send-off to one of Franco-Belgian comics' most distinctive casts.
