Babyface #[nn]

Adapted from Marie Desplechin's novel by Olivier Balez, this Rue de Sèvres graphic novel presents a striking cover: a lone young figure in a green jacket and orange knit hat sits hunched against a gritty urban wall, a backpack at their feet, dwarfed by bold graffiti letters spelling out "Baby Face." The nighttime cityscape and raw street-art aesthetic set a mood that's both melancholy and quietly alive with energy. It's a visually compelling 2022 release that wears its urban heart right on its sleeve.
