Babel #1
This first volume of Babel collects the opening chapters of the French-Italian series, originally published in 2004 by Vertige graphic and Coconino Press. The story follows a group of characters navigating a dystopian urban landscape, with themes of communication and isolation woven through its stark, expressive artwork. This edition presents the material in its original French language, part of the Ignatz line of graphic novels.
"A Rooster's Tale 1" from Babel #1 (2004) is a haunting, deeply personal story by David B., who handles every aspect of the artwork and lettering with striking precision. Through the fragmented lens of memory and dream, it traces the early life of Jean-Christophe, focusing on his younger brother’s haunting perception of epileptic seizures intertwined with the lingering shadow of the Biafran war. The cover, also by David B., sets a somber, introspective tone that matches the interior’s intimate, evocative style.
