Racket #[nn]

Stéphane Levallois brings a haunting elegance to this Futuropolis album, its cover dominated by a lone child rendered in loose, expressive ink strokes against a stark white ground, her figure partially swallowed by sweeping dark forms that feel both protective and threatening. A strip of small, muted vignettes runs along the bottom — shadowy interiors and ambiguous shapes that hint at a world existing just out of reach. At 26 EUR, Racket announces itself as a work of genuine visual ambition, the kind of graphic novel that earns a second look before you've even opened the cover.
