Shakespeare World #[nn]

A massive, unsettling crowd of blank-faced figures wearing 3D glasses fills the streets of a modern city — London's skyline looming behind them, a red double-decker bus cutting through the grey — while one startled dog and a handful of wide-eyed onlookers seem to grasp something the rest have missed. Jules Stromboni and Astrid Defrance bring a quietly eerie energy to this 2020 Casterman album, blending contemporary urban life with an unmistakable sense that something strange lurks beneath the surface. If you're drawn to European graphic novels that pair sharp social observation with striking visual storytelling, Shakespeare World looks like a compelling place to start.
