Bunker #5

The fifth and final volume of Bunker closes out the series with a cover that says everything through atmosphere alone — a lone silhouetted figure, pack on their back, stands dwarfed beneath a massive, snow-covered peak piercing a cold twilight sky. Christophe Bec, Stéphane Betbeder, and Genzianella deliver a striking image of isolation and endurance, the subtitle Le Mal des Montagnes ("Mountain Sickness") lending the scene an ominous weight. Published by Dupuis in 2012, this concluding chapter promises a fittingly stark and elemental end to the series.
