Fritz Lang le maudit #[nn]

A striking close-up of Fritz Lang dominates this cover, his distinctive monocle catching the light as a vast crowd gathered beneath a swastika banner fills the background — a chilling visual that immediately sets the historical stakes of this French-language graphic biography. Published in 2022 by Les Arènes, the album pairs writer Arnaud Delalande with artist Éric Liberge, whose detailed, sepia-toned linework lends the imagery a brooding, cinematic weight entirely fitting for a story centered on one of cinema's most visionary and conflicted figures. If you have any appetite for the intersection of art, history, and moral complexity, this one looks like a compelling place to start.
