Jour J #47

The cover of this 2022 Delcourt release from the Jour J alternate-history series sets a distinctly surreal tone: a dapper figure in a suit cradles an enormous lobster while a ring of pistols converges on him from every angle — an image that feels equal parts menacing and absurdist. The subtitle Les Noces de Sang 2/2 promises a concluding chapter, and the tagline — "1937: le monde est sans nouvelles de Salvador Dalí" — hints at a deliciously strange alternate-history mystery at the heart of the story. With art and story by Duval, Pécau, and Arlem, this forty-seventh installment looks like a wonderfully eccentric dive into the series' signature brand of historical what-if.
