Planète rouge #[nn]
Planète Rouge is a French science fiction comic series originally published by Albin Michel in 1984. This collected edition brings together the story of a mysterious red planet and its explorers, blending adventure with speculative themes typical of the era's European bande dessinée. The volume features the work of writer and artist involved in the series' creation, though specific creator credits are not confirmed for this exact collection.
In "Il viendra des pluies douces," a haunting tale from the 1984 Albin Michel collection, Walter finds himself alone in a silent Martian town, haunted by the echo of a ringing phone. When he finally answers, he connects with a woman named Miss Selsor—only to confront the unsettling reality of being the last man and the last woman on a dying world. With a quiet, melancholic tone, the story unfolds through the evocative art of Reed Crandall and the legendary cover by Wally Wood, capturing a moment of fragile connection in a vast, empty universe.
