Paris 2119 #[nn]

Two striking figures — a poised woman in a crisp white suit and head wrap standing before a leather-jacketed man — loom against a rain-soaked, futuristic Parisian skyline on Dominique Bertail's beautifully composed cover. This 2019 Rue de Sèvres album brings together writer Zep and artist Bertail (whose colors, alongside Gaétan Georges, give the whole book its cool, cinematic palette) for a vision of the City of Light one hundred years on. If you're drawn to sleek, atmospheric European science fiction with a distinctly Parisian soul, Paris 2119 looks like a compelling place to start.
