Uchronie[s] - New Delhi #3

The third volume of Corbeyran and Defali's Uchronie[s] — New Delhi brings its alternate-history vision to a striking image: a monumental seated statue of Gandhi dominates the foreground, its pedestal bearing his name, while two young people — a man and a woman in contemporary dress — stand in urgent conversation nearby, and a figure in traditional white kurta walks past in the background, all set against an amber-toned cityscape. Richard Guérineau's cover work gives the scene a haunting, golden atmosphere that blends the historical and the modern with quiet tension. Published by Glénat in 2014, this concluding tome promises a fascinating collision of worlds that fans of thoughtful, geopolitically charged bande dessinée won't want to miss.
