La Délicatesse #[nn]

This 2016 Futuropolis release opens with a quietly striking cover that forgoes traditional illustration in favor of clean typography on a pale background, presenting dictionary definitions of délicatesse and délicat from the Larousse — a clever, literary invitation that sets the tone before a single story page is turned. The choice to lead with language itself signals something thoughtful and nuanced ahead, appealing equally to comics readers and lovers of fine French literature.
