Crispy 2052 #[nn]

Set against a striking red backdrop, this 2023 release from 404 éditions presents two sharply designed characters — a crouching figure in a yellow-striped helmet and a tall, scarf-wearing fighter gripping a baseball bat — looming beneath the watchful face of a larger, shadowed figure. The manga-influenced linework from Dalmasso and Stanley gives the world of Crispy 2052 a kinetic, street-level energy that feels both grounded and distinctly futuristic. A compelling introduction to what promises to be a bold new sci-fi universe.
