L'homme de la mer #[nn]

This French-language graphic novel from Pika Graphic presents a quietly compelling image: a young woman in a light jacket faces a diver in full black wetsuit, mesh bag of fresh catch in hand, with a ginger cat lounging between them and the open sea stretching out behind a seaside gate. Jang Deok-Hyun's cover radiates a gentle, bittersweet mood — the distance between two figures who seem to share something unspoken feels immediately human. A beautifully understated 2017 release that draws you in with its stillness alone.
