Pour la peau #[nn]

Two figures lie entwined on the ground in an intimate, quietly vulnerable embrace — rendered in warm muted tones accented by spare blue linework — while other people's feet and legs can be glimpsed passing nearby, indifferent to the moment below. Sandrine Saint-Marc and Deloupy bring a restrained, emotionally charged sensibility to this Delcourt graphic novel, letting the cover image speak volumes about closeness, exposure, and the fragile space between two people. Pour la peau looks like exactly the kind of human-scaled story that stays with you long after the last page.
