Captifs #[nn]

A tense wilderness standoff anchors this striking 2023 release from Les Humanoïdes Associés. Cover artist Olivier Ormière composes a deeply unsettling forest scene: three weathered, battle-worn figures — armed and watchful — surround a captive kneeling with his back turned, a rifle resting nearby and a distant log structure barely visible through the pine trees. François Rivière's story of captivity and survival, brought to life through Ormière's gritty linework and Silvia Fabris's muted, atmospheric palette, promises a gripping frontier drama that earns its haunting title.
