Cafard #[nn]

A striking close-up of a battered, green-tinted face — patched with bandages, pierced by a thin red scar, and surrounded by shattering fragments — sets a haunting, unnerving tone right from the cover. Halfdan Pisket's stark two-color artwork for this 2018 Presque Lune release is immediately arresting, the character's blood-red eyes staring out with weary, defiant intensity. If you're drawn to graphic novels with a raw, expressionist edge, Cafard looks like a compelling place to start.
