La Déconfiture #[nn]

Pascal Rabaté's La Déconfiture arrives from Futuropolis with a cover that immediately sets a tense, melancholy tone — a tree-lined road scattered with crashed and overturned vehicles, and a figure lying motionless on the ground beneath a flat, oppressive yellow sky rendered in stark ink work. The tagline says it all: "En ce mois de juin le soleil était de plomb, les balles aussi!" — in that June, the sun was lead, and so were the bullets. This 2025 release promises the kind of quietly devastating historical atmosphere that Rabaté handles with such assured, unsparing craft.
