Lundi, fin de journée #2

A quiet urban overpass dominates this striking 2006 cover from La Cinquième Couche, rendered in a spare palette of muted blues, grays, and a bold magenta title block — birds drifting overhead in an open sky. Lundi, fin de journée ("Monday, End of the Day") carries the mood right there in its title, and this second issue continues that contemplative, slice-of-life tone that makes the series so distinctive. A thoughtful addition to any collection of French-language independent comics.
