Le lait paternel #2

The second volume of Uli Oesterle's Le lait paternel arrives from Dargaud in 2024 with a cover as quietly unsettling as its subtitle, "Sous la surface," promises. The image places two figures — one adult with a backpack, one small child in a vivid green outfit — on jagged, isolated rock formations rising through a pale, wintry landscape, while a cross and cable-car lines loom in the misty background. Oesterle's restrained color palette and the sense of vast, fragmented terrain make this an instantly arresting entry in the series.
