Les Folies Bergère #[nn]

A haunting skull crowned with a military cap dominates this 2012 Dargaud album from the creative team of Porcel and Zidrou, its sepia-toned cover immediately signaling a wartime story steeped in dread and atmosphere. The image is spare yet striking — that grinning death's head wearing a soldier's peaked cap conveys both dark humor and genuine menace. Les Folies Bergère announces itself as a work of serious intent wrapped in a deeply evocative visual.
