L'attente #[nn]

Keum Suk Gendry-Kim's L'attente arrives from Futuropolis with a cover that quietly commands attention: rendered in muted gold and ivory tones, a woman's resolute face looms large above a young child clinging to a figure, all set against a backdrop of barbed wire — an image that speaks directly to the subtitle's promise of "une famille coréenne brisée par la partition du pays." The restrained linework carries enormous emotional weight, balancing tenderness and separation in a single composition. A thoughtful and humanly resonant work for readers drawn to graphic storytelling rooted in history and family.
