Kilometer nul #3

The third volume of Kilometer Nul, subtitled "Een nieuwe wereld," arrives from Saga Uitgaven in 2023 with a cover by Florent Bossard that sets a quietly unsettling tone: a lone figure in a top hat and long coat rests on a cane amid a blighted industrial landscape, surrounded by bare, broken branches while factory smokestacks belch dark clouds into a smoldering amber sky. The tension between that solitary, contemplative silhouette and the looming machinery behind him speaks to the human cost at the heart of Stéphane Piatzszek and Bossard's collaboration. If the first two volumes drew you in, this "new world" promises to push the story into even weightier territory.
