L'Étoile noire #[nn]

A lone astronaut in a white spacesuit, weapon in hand, stands dwarfed before a massive, grotesque alien entity whose tentacled, insectoid form fills the entire background — it's an immediately arresting image of scale and dread. Juan Giménez both draws and inks this 1981 Glénat release, and his detailed linework gives the creature a genuinely unsettling biomechanical texture that rewards a long look. Paired with Ricardo Barreiro's script, L'Étoile noire arrives as a striking piece of French-language science fiction that set a high visual bar from its very cover.
