Ce qui ne nous tue pas nous rend plus vieux #[nn]

A single oversized clog dominates the dark cover of this 2009 French graphic novel from L'atelier du poisson soluble, its bold orange-and-brown plaid pattern rendered with quiet wit against a charcoal background — while beneath it, faint sketched figures lie sprawled across the ground. The title, *Ce qui ne nous tue pas nous rend plus vieux* ("What doesn't kill us makes us older"), reframes a familiar saying with a wry, melancholy twist that perfectly suits the image. Mikaël Alex delivers a cover that is understated and oddly funny, promising a work with a distinctly human, deadpan sensibility.
