Sous le feu corse #[nn]

The cover of this 2016 Futuropolis album sets a quietly charged tone: a lone suited figure stands with his back to us, facing the grand façade of an official building flying the French flag — the visual tension between one man and an imposing institution speaks volumes. Sous le feu corse: L'enquête du juge des paillotes promises a grounded, politically charged investigation into one of France's most controversial affairs, brought to life by the creative team of Blancou, Camberou, and Pottier. Fans of serious, journalism-inflected bande dessinée will find this a compelling addition to their shelf.
