Jour J #19

In this alternate-history French series from Duval & Pécau, issue #19 poses a chilling "what if": La Vengeance de Jaurès imagines April 11, 1930, when the SFIO has Raoul Villain — the assassin of Jean Jaurès — killed in turn. The cover, illustrated by Séjourné, captures a tense confrontation in a sun-drenched Mediterranean courtyard, where a figure in dark clothing levels a gun at another man caught off-guard against a stone wall. It's a masterfully atmospheric scene that sets the moral ambiguity of this 2015 volume perfectly.
