La Vie de Victor Levallois #2

Part of the La Vie de Victor Levallois series from Les Humanoïdes Associés, this 2003 album by Stanislas and Rullier takes readers into the tension and romance of Indochina. The cover sets the mood beautifully — a bespectacled man embraces a young woman in the foreground while soldiers move purposefully in the background and a propeller aircraft passes low overhead above a tropical village. It's a striking blend of intimacy and unease that promises an adventure grounded in both personal drama and the wider upheaval of the era.
