Sudestada #[nn]

A stark and haunting image greets you on this Michel Lafon release: a pale, motionless figure lies face-down on muddy ground beneath a gnarled, storm-ravaged tree, the cold blue atmosphere suggesting desolation and the aftermath of nature's fury. Juan Sáenz Valiente's work carries a quiet, unsettling power that feels deeply rooted in Argentine storytelling — "sudestada" itself being the name of the fierce windstorm that sweeps the Río de la Plata region. This 2018 volume promises a brooding, atmospheric narrative for readers drawn to graphic fiction with a strong sense of place and dread.
