Guantánamo Kid #[nn]

A stark, minimalist cover sets the tone immediately: a young man in an orange jumpsuit, hands shackled, stands barefoot between an armed guard and a watchtower behind razor wire — a visual that speaks volumes before a single page is turned. Created by Jérôme Tubiana and Alexandre Franc, this Dargaud release tells the true story of Mohammed El-Gorani, offering a rare comics perspective on one of the most scrutinized detention facilities of the early 21st century. Franc's clean, high-contrast linework gives the subject a quiet dignity that makes the subject matter all the more compelling.
