Babel #1
This first volume of the French series Babel collects the opening chapters of a surreal and introspective narrative, originally published by Vertige Graphic as part of their Ignatz line. The story follows characters navigating a fragmented, dreamlike world where language and meaning are constantly shifting, rendered in a distinctive European comics style. This edition presents the material in its original French language format.
"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.
