La Journée d'un journaliste américain en 2889 #[nn]

Adapted from Michel Verne's visionary text and brought to life by Guillaume Guerse's intricate linework, this 2009 edition from 6 Pieds Sous Terre imagines a future metropolis glimpsed through a grid of paneled vignettes — sprawling futuristic cityscapes tower alongside the figure of a lone individual hurrying through this world of tomorrow. The muted, sepia-toned cover design, presented under the "Science-Fiction pour Tous" banner directed by David Vandermeulen, has an elegantly antiquarian quality that suits a story set in the year 2889. A thoughtful, beautifully crafted volume for anyone drawn to the intersection of classic speculative fiction and contemporary bande dessinée artistry.
