Seconds #[nn]

Set against a deep, star-flecked midnight blue, a red-haired young woman drifts weightlessly at the center of the cover, arms outstretched as though suspended in a dream — or something stranger. Surrounding her in vivid red tones are fragments of a world in flux: a brooding male face in the foreground, a glowing diner sign reading "Seconds," a cozy house, a wardrobe, and other scattered objects that hint at a story caught between the everyday and the surreal. This 2014 Dargaud release presents its premise entirely through its cover's dreamlike composition, and it's already impossible to look away.
