Dock 21 #7

The seventh volume of Les Abîmes du Temps arrives with a striking cover from Rodolphe and Puchol: a man's face dominates the frame, his head bristling with wires and electrodes connected to humming electronic equipment on either side — a quietly unsettling image of a mind under scrutiny. Titled Le Temps Volé ("Stolen Time"), this 2008 entry from Vent des Savanes promises the kind of cerebral science-fiction tension the series does so well. If you've been following this time-bending saga, volume seven looks like a compelling next chapter.
