Purgatoire #3

The third volume of Chabouté's Purgatoire opens on a striking, moody image: a solitary white-clad figure perched atop a dark car, silhouetted against a brooding, smoke-filled sky that fills the frame with an almost suffocating weight. The atmosphere is deeply cinematic — spare, tense, and quietly unsettling in the way only Chabouté's stark visual storytelling can be. Published by Vents d'Ouest in 2005, this penultimate chapter of the series promises the same hypnotic tension that has made Purgatoire such a compelling read.
