Le Paradis sur Terre #1

A striking opener to the Le Paradis sur Terre series, this 2011 album from 12 Bis pairs Le Tendre and Gnoni for a story with unmistakable sci-fi tension. The cover sets the mood vividly — a heavyset figure in an olive jacket sprints across a backdrop of Earth seen from orbit, shotgun in hand, while inset panels frame a mysterious spacecraft and a watchful blonde woman. Bye Bye Love promises the kind of retro-tinged, globe-spanning intrigue that fans of European adventure comics will find immediately irresistible.
