Saison brune #[nn]

Philippe Squarzoni's Saison Brune, published by Delcourt in 2012, announces itself with striking restraint — a close-up of an hourglass rendered in cool, desaturated grays, its sand visibly running, underscoring a quiet but urgent sense of time passing. The stripped-back design gives the book an almost documentary seriousness that sets it apart from mainstream comics. It's a thoughtful, visually precise work that signals something genuinely substantive within its pages.
