Perramus - La ville et l'oubli #[nn]

Alberto Breccia and Juan Sasturain's Perramus — La ville et l'oubli, published by Futuropolis, brings together one of comics' most striking artistic visions in this handsome 2020 edition. The cover image — rendered in Breccia's deeply atmospheric black-and-white — shows a lone, windswept figure at its center, flanked on both sides by helmeted soldiers and armed figures pressing in from the shadows, the tension almost palpable in every brushstroke. At 45,00 EUR, this is a beautifully presented volume that does full justice to the stark, expressionist power of Breccia's art and Sasturain's vision of a city and its forgetting.
