Les Chasseurs d'écume #5

The fifth volume of Les Chasseurs d'écume carries a quietly unsettling charge: a massive human skull dominates the foreground of the cover while two young figures stand near a harbour's edge, fishing boats and an industrial building stretching into a pale, seagull-dotted sky. The subtitle — 1934, Le Crâne de la Plage — anchors the story firmly in the interwar period, promising a mystery rooted in a very specific time and place. By Debois and Fino, published by Glénat in 2015, this album blends the atmospheric textures of coastal working-class life with a clear hint of danger lurking just beneath the surface.
