La voix #1

From Pascal Bertho and Korkydü comes this intriguing opening volume of La voix, subtitled Comme un murmure — "Like a Whisper." The cover sets an immediately compelling tone: a young man in a distinctive white suit sits tensely in an armchair while a pale blue, ethereal female figure leans close behind him, her presence somewhere between haunting and intimate, as a crowd of onlookers blurs in the background. Published by Vents d'Ouest in 2003, this first chapter promises a story steeped in atmosphere and quiet unease.
