La corde du pendu soutient l'unijambiste #[nn]

Pierre Guilmard renders a meticulously detailed Parisian streetscape on this cover — a grand neoclassical façade flying the French tricolor, flanked by parked cars and framed against a brutalist tower capped in red, all rendered in crisp ink line work with a warm tan wash. The title, La corde du pendu soutient l'unijambiste ("The hanged man's rope supports the one-legged man"), pairs this elegant urban setting with a deliciously dark French proverb, hinting at a story steeped in irony and Parisian atmosphere. Published by Éditions du Long Bec in 2019, this is a handsome package for anyone drawn to Franco-Belgian comics with a literary edge.
