New Cherbourg Stories #2

A hulking, retro-styled robot strides through murky underwater depths on this evocative cover, surrounded by a shoal of fish drifting through dim, green-tinged water — setting a mood that is equal parts adventure and quiet unease. Pierre Gabus and Romuald Reutimann's New Cherbourg Stories continues here with the subtitle Le Silence des Grondins, promising the same blend of offbeat science fiction and aquatic atmosphere that defines this series. Published by Casterman in 2020, it's a beautifully composed volume that makes the ocean feel like another world entirely.
