Celia #29
"Infirmière en fuite" delivers a sleek, moody mystery from Celia #29 (1969), a standout issue in the series’ run.

The story unfolds with quiet tension, anchored by a typeset lettering style that suits its 1960s French comic charm.

A fragile moment of connection hangs in the cold, unresolved.
