Une île à la mer #[nn]

Presented by Nicolas Poupon, Une île à la mer arrives from 6 Pieds Sous Terre with a cover that sets an immediately tense and darkly comic tone — a wide-jawed shark lunges from the water while a figure tumbles helplessly through the air above it, all rendered against a striking teal background. The bold graphic simplicity of the composition draws the eye straight to that alarming encounter, balancing menace with a hint of absurdist humor. At 16 EUR, this 2017 French-language album looks like a compelling addition to any shelf that appreciates sharp, atmospheric cartooning.
