Cahier de vacances pour la plage, la révolution et les dîners mondains #[nn]

From Frémok comes this wonderfully offbeat release by Steve Michiels — a "vacation workbook for the beach, the revolution, and society dinners" that already promises something delightfully unpredictable. The cover delivers on that subtitle's energy, presenting a densely packed crowd of men and women in various states of animated expression — laughing, recoiling, reaching, whispering — rendered in a loose, painterly style with warm pinks and greens that feels part fête, part frenzy. It's a 2015 Franco-Belgian comics artifact that wears its irreverent ambitions right on its sleeve.
