L'Échappée #[nn]

Grégory Mardon's L'Échappée from Futuropolis presents a quietly striking cover: a lone figure walks apart from a dense, rushing crowd rendered in cool blue-grey tones, casting a long shadow that separates him from the collective surge. The visual contrast between solitude and the press of modern urban life is immediate and compelling. It's an elegant, restrained piece of French bande dessinée from 2015 that draws you in with its understated emotional weight.
