Des espaces vides #[nn]

Three generations of men — a young boy, a middle-aged man, and an older gentleman — sit together on a couch amid a vast field of rubble and crumbling buildings, their quiet closeness set against that stark, devastated landscape in a way that immediately feels both tender and haunting. Miguel Francisco's work for Delcourt's Mirages imprint carries real emotional weight, and this cover alone suggests a story about family bonds persisting through loss or upheaval. A thoughtful 2017 addition to French-language graphic literature that rewards a closer look.
