La cité des esclaves #1

Two striking figures dominate this unsettling cover — one blindfolded and restrained, the other inverted — rendered in a haunting palette of gold, black, and deep red that immediately signals the dark, provocative world of La Cité des Esclaves. Published by Casterman in 2014, this first volume brings together writer Shinichi Okada and artist Hiroto Ooishi for what promises to be a bold, atmospheric manga experience. The visceral imagery sets a disquieting tone that will have readers eager to explore whatever lies within.
