Les bijoux de famille #[nn]

A clean, striking typographic cover announces Les bijoux de famille — "Family Jewels" — a 2001 release from the always-distinctive Les Requins Marteaux imprint. With color work by Nikola Witko and art by Christian Papazoglakis inside, this French-language album carries a quietly confident presentation that lets the title do the talking. At 69 FRF / 10.50 EUR, it's a fine example of the era's Franco-Belgian alternative comics scene doing things on its own terms.
