Capharnaüm #[nn]

This is actually the back cover of the album, dominated by a vivid orange field and a small line-drawn rabbit figure seated in the lower right corner, quietly reading. Lewis Trondheim's Capharnaüm brings together an unlikely masked crimefighter named Willard Watte and an not-too-bright bookseller named Martin Mollin in a surreal, absurdist city reminiscent of Gotham, where the supervillain Gashinga stirs up chaos. Published by Pow Pow in 2015, this sprawling, caustically funny project is exactly the kind of rocambolesque adventure that rewards readers who enjoy their crime comics with a generous helping of the ridiculous.
