Espace vital #2

The second volume of Espace Vital from Glénat draws you in immediately with Fabrice Meddour's atmospheric cover art, rendered in moody blues and greys that give the whole composition an unsettling, gothic tension. Three figures — a wide-eyed young man in the foreground and two women behind him — loom against the ornate, shadowy facade of a grand and foreboding building. Le Bollée and Meddour have crafted something that feels genuinely cinematic, and this 2017 release promises to deepen whatever dark intrigue the series has been building.
