Partie de chasse #[nn]

"Partie de chasse" is a gripping, atmospheric tale from 1990, written by Christin and illustrated with stark, haunting detail by Enki Bilal, whose distinctive art style defines the story’s oppressive mood. Set in the Polish village of Krolówka, the issue follows a group of Soviet and Eastern European apparatchiks gathered for a hunting trip, each recounting personal memories shaped by the shadow of the omnipresent Vassili Alexandrovitch Tchevtchenko. The cover, also by Bilal, captures the story’s brooding tone with its stark, expressionistic visuals.
