Tunnels #[nn]

Rutu Modan's Tunnels, published in French by Actes Sud BD in 2021, brings her signature clean linework to a tense underground setting. The cover places four characters — an older man, a wary woman in blue, a bearded figure clutching a trowel, and a goggled young man laden with equipment — at the entrance to a curved, earthy tunnel, their expressions ranging from concern to determination. It's a quietly gripping image that promises archaeology, intrigue, and the kind of human drama Modan renders so compellingly.
