In "The Foundations of Modern Art," Theo’s life fractures in a single afternoon—first losing his fiancée, then witnessing a suicide before retreating into the quiet dread of his apartment. Peering into his neighbor’s room, he stumbles upon something unsettling, the tension building in two raw, furious double-page spreads. A striking collaboration by Pascal Doury, Art Spiegelman, and Françoise Mouly, with Ever Meulen’s intense cover art, this 1983 Raw #5 delivers a haunting, visually charged moment in the series’ early run.

In "Theodore Death Head," Jo finds herself caught in a moment of sudden loss when her fiancé, Theo, vanishes after a near-accident on the road. Returning to his apartment, Theo’s unease deepens as he peers into his neighbor’s room, drawn by something just out of sight. The story crescendos in two stark, furious double-page spreads that leave the tension unresolved and the air thick with unspoken dread.

”The time had come for war to revive, in France, the sense of the ideal and of the divine.”
