Central Park #[nn]

A massive polar bear drifts ghostlike through a turquoise sky above the Manhattan skyline as a young man on the street below gazes upward in quiet wonder — it's a cover image that stops you cold. Christian Durieux and Jean-Luc Cornette bring a dreamlike, quietly surreal energy to this Dupuis release that feels unlike anything else on the shelf in 2005. If you're drawn to stories that blend the urban and the otherworldly with a light, contemplative touch, this one earns a closer look.
