Babel #1
This first volume of the French series Babel, published by Soleil, launches a science fiction narrative exploring themes of language, communication, and societal collapse. The story follows characters navigating a world where the ability to understand one another begins to fracture, leading to chaos and conflict. This edition collects the opening issues of the arc, setting the stage for a complex tale of cultural and linguistic breakdown.
"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.
