The Grocery #1

This 2011 Ankama release kicks off The Grocery with a cover that sets the tone perfectly — a scrappy crew of cartoonishly stylized street kids, all big heads and wiry limbs, posing with tough-kid attitude against a crumbling urban backdrop. Singelin and Ducoudray bring an immediately distinctive visual energy, blending gritty neighborhood atmosphere with a warmly exaggerated character design that feels fresh and full of personality. If this cover is any indication, it's a series with real charm lurking beneath its rough-edged exterior.
