Un matin de septembre #[nn]

A solitary man walks through the ash-gray ruins of a devastated Manhattan street, American flags still clinging to their poles amid the skeletal canyon of smoke-shrouded skyscrapers — Jérôme Pigney's cover sets a quietly devastating tone for this French graphic work about September 11th. The muted, dust-washed palette and the lone figure's weary stride capture both the enormity of destruction and something deeply human at its center. Published by Des ronds dans l'O in 2013, Un matin de septembre promises an intimate, considered approach to one of history's most searing moments.
