L'Archipel #[nn]

Sacha Goerg's L'Archipel from Gallimard presents a quietly striking cover: a young person stands alone in a muted urban landscape, graffiti-tagged walls and overgrown surroundings hinting at a world both familiar and slightly adrift. The soft, atmospheric palette of blues, purples, and greens lends the scene a melancholic tenderness that feels deeply contemporary. It's the kind of graphic novel that draws you in with its stillness — a promising 2024 addition to Gallimard's bande dessinée catalog.
