Urban #2

The cover of Urban Tome 2 — subtitled Ceux qui vont mourir — presents a richly layered visual world from Luc Brunschwig and Roberto Ricci, with Ricci's detailed artwork depicting a young goggle-wearing figure alongside a mysterious silver-haired older man, set against an elaborate, almost theatrical backdrop of lush greenery and ornate architecture. The composition has a cinematic quality, with warm, golden tones offset by the cool blues of an inset panel, suggesting a story that moves between very different spaces and personalities. Published by Futuropolis in 2013, this first-edition volume also comes with a bonus cahier graphique, making it a particularly complete package for fans of ambitious Franco-Belgian science fiction.
