Les contes de la Umbrella Academy #1

From the twisted world of the Umbrella Academy comes this French-language anthology spin-off, published by Delcourt in 2021 and subtitled "Tu Pues La Mort!" — loosely, "You Stink of Death!" The cover, rendered in a warm, retro palette of mustards and greens, depicts a masked, suited figure meditating cross-legged atop a suitcase amid a chaotic street scene dotted with oddball signage — "Vampires Welcome," a live nude comedy club, and a 99-cent store — while bystanders mill about and glowing objects drift through the air. Gerard Way and Shaun Simon bring their signature offbeat sensibility to the writing, with I.N.J. Culbard's cover art setting a perfectly surreal, sun-baked tone for whatever strangeness waits inside.
