Les Nuisibles #[nn]

Piero Macola's Les Nuisibles arrives from Futuropolis with a cover that immediately sets an uneasy, nocturnal mood: a lone figure on a bicycle navigates a dimly lit road past a parked van, while below, a second figure crouches in the shadows, absorbed in some furtive task by lamplight. The split composition — rendered in moody, textured pencilwork — suggests two worlds operating just beneath the surface of ordinary life, with a quiet tension that feels more literary than genre. A thoughtful addition to Futuropolis's roster of atmospheric bandes dessinées.
