Au nom du fils #2

The cover of this 2012 Futuropolis album says everything with quiet restraint: a broad-shouldered man, backpack slung over his shoulder, gazes across a sun-bleached beach toward a small wooden boat where a child sits waiting — the distance between them charged with unspoken meaning. Clément Belin and Serge Perrotin bring *Au nom du fils (Ciudad Perdida)* to its conclusion in this second and final volume, promising the resolution of a journey that is clearly as much emotional as it is geographical. A thoughtful, human-scaled story that trusts its imagery to speak before a single page is turned.
