American Monster #[nn]

Two stark white silhouettes — one massive and hulking in the foreground, one slender and distant — face each other across a blood-red landscape of bare trees and dark grass, immediately signaling a story of tension and uneasy confrontation. Brian Azzarello and Juan Doe bring a brooding, minimalist intensity to this French edition from Snorgleux, where the cover design alone carries real menace without a single word of dialogue. If you're drawn to noir-tinged American storytelling with a visual style that strips everything down to shadow and suggestion, this 2017 release deserves a place on your shelf.
