Kids #1

From Les Humanoïdes Associés, Kids arrives in 1985 as a mature French comics album by Arno, whose signed cover sets an immediately charged, voyeuristic tone — a voluptuous blonde woman in lingerie occupies the foreground while a young boy peers in through the window behind her, the urban apartment building visible beyond him. The tension between innocence and adult worlds, rendered in Arno's smooth, painterly ligne claire style, promises a story that doesn't shy away from complicated territory.
