LastMan #1

The cover of this 2022 Casterman edition sets a quietly compelling tone: a young blonde girl in a dark jacket stands front and center with hands clasped, her expression caught somewhere between worry and determination, while two larger, softly rendered figures loom in the blue-grey background behind her. The contrast between her small, sharply drawn presence and those hazy background figures immediately suggests a story about a child navigating a world of adults far bigger than herself. With Balak, Sanlauville, and Viuès at the helm, LastMan #1 is a beautifully designed entry point into what promises to be a rich and emotionally grounded adventure.
