BD-Cul #12

Roxane Lumeret's cover for this 2016 entry in Les Requins Marteaux's BD-Cul series sets a breezy, sun-drenched coastal mood — a seated young woman in a green top and white skirt holds a bright red lobster while scattered around her are what appear to be a syringe and a small bottle, hinting at something a little more offbeat beneath the holiday surface. The retro-styled lettering of *Coup de Frein Sur La Côte* gives the whole image a playful, vintage French poster feel. At 12 euros, it's an inviting slice of the irreverent, adult-oriented comics scene that BD-Cul consistently delivers.
