Tard dans la nuit #3

From Djian and Voru, this third volume of Tard dans la nuit — subtitled Les Orphelins — presents a striking cover that says everything with a single, densely packed image. A sea of young men and boys in period dress crowds every inch of the frame, their expressions ranging from wary to resigned, while one central figure stands out holding a cane and meeting the viewer's gaze with quiet intensity. Vents d'Ouest's 2006 release promises the kind of brooding, atmospheric storytelling that the series has built its reputation on.
