RanXerox

In the early 1980s, French publisher Albin Michel unleashed a raw, punk-fueled vision of the future with RanXerox, a short but explosive three-issue series. Conceived by writer Stefano Tamburini and brought to life with the hyper-detailed, grotesquely beautiful art of Tanino Liberatore, the comic follows its titular artificial being and his companion Lubna through a violent, decaying world. A landmark of European underground and science-fiction comics, the series became famous for its anarchic energy and Liberatore's lush, obsessive linework, cementing its cult status across the Atlantic as well.
