Animal'z #[nn]

Enki Bilal's *Animal'z* arrives from Egmont Ehapa in 2010 as a haunting showcase of his signature style — all cool greys and muted blues beneath a stormy sky. The cover presents a slender, almost spectral figure in a hat striding purposefully alongside a lean, low-slung beast that moves with predatory grace, the pairing feeling both unsettling and strangely intimate. With Bilal handling writing, art, inking, and color, this is an intensely personal vision that rewards anyone drawn to European comics at their most atmospheric.
