Faire semblant les jours d'orage #[nn]

From Delcourt's Mirages imprint comes this atmospheric French graphic novel, Faire semblant les jours d'orage, rendered entirely in moody blues and grays by Nicolas Poupon. The cover places three figures in a tense roadside scene — a bald man pointing a gun, a standing man with a child on his shoulders, and a bearded man shielding his eyes — all set against brooding, storm-heavy skies and a weathered van. It's a striking tableau of vulnerability and threat that speaks to the kind of quiet, human drama Delcourt's Mirages line does so well.
