Moi, ce que j’aime, c’est les monstres #1

The cover of this French edition of Emil Ferris's celebrated graphic novel draws you in immediately: a pale blue-toned young woman dominates the foreground, her dark hair framing a face that gazes with quiet, unsettling intensity beneath a full moon and a shadowy house. Ferris's pencil and ink work — rendered entirely by her own hand — has an almost hypnotic texture, blurring the line between portraiture and the uncanny. Honored with the 2019 Fauve d'Or at Angoulême for Meilleur Album, this first volume is a genuinely remarkable piece of comics artistry.
