Turbulences #[nn]

Part of Casterman's Sociorama series — which pairs comics with real sociological research — Turbulences arrives in 2016 with a cover that perfectly sets its tone: a flight attendant leans attentively toward a weary, disheveled passenger, offering the classic choice of pasta or chicken, while the passenger can barely muster a response. The pen-and-ink simplicity of the scene, by Virot and Lambert and drawn from Anne Lambert's research, hints at the quietly comic tensions simmering at 30,000 feet. At 12,00 EUR, it's an inviting entry point for anyone curious about what sociology looks like when rendered in warm, observational humor.
