Impostures #1

A police lineup has never looked quite this absurd — six wildly mismatched characters, ranging from a towering elongated figure to a stout, bow-tied gentleman, stand against a height-measurement wall in Romain Dutreix's deadpan comedic style. The title Impostures sprawls across the top in inky, hand-lettered brushstrokes, setting a perfectly anarchic tone for whatever mischief this motley crew represents. Published by Fluide Glacial in 2013, this is a sharp, visually playful French album that promises wit as sharp as its character designs are delightfully strange.
