Ugly babies

Launched in 2022 by the French publisher La Cinquième Couche (5C), Ugly Babies is a single-issue comic that presents a stark, unflinching look at its titular subjects. The series, which has only one issue to date, is defined by its raw, unconventional art and narrative approach, making it a distinctive, if brief, entry in the publisher's catalog of avant-garde works. Its provocative title and limited run suggest a focused, impactful statement rather than an ongoing saga.
