La Cure #[nn]

Against a candy-pink background, a young man stares out with unsettling calm, his face encased in a strange blue apparatus — padded panels cover his eyes, straps cinch his jaw, and small arrow-shaped fittings suggest something mechanical and controlling. Mário César's bold, two-tone linework makes the image both clinical and deeply strange, turning a close-up portrait into a quietly charged question about restraint, treatment, and who decides what needs fixing. La Cure arrives from iLatina in 2023 as a graphic novel that clearly isn't afraid to get under your skin.
