Monsters #[nn]

The cover of Ken Dahl's Monsters sets an unsettling yet oddly intimate tone — a pale, greenish figure grins wide-mouthed and bare-chested, one finger raised to their lips, the bold red title bar cutting across their eyes like a redaction. Published by L'employé du Moi in 2010, this French edition carries a raw, confessional energy that makes the discomfort feel deeply personal rather than simply grotesque. Dahl's linework is precise and expressive, drawing you in even as the image quietly unnerves you.
