Les Gens honnêtes #2

The second part of Durieux and Gibrat's Les Gens honnêtes arrives with a cover that's quietly arresting: a relaxed man reclines in a train seat, hands behind his head, a small smile on his face, while behind him — rendered in cool, muted blues — a group of passengers interact in ways that hint at tension and intrigue. Gibrat's draughtsmanship brings a cinematic warmth to the everyday train carriage setting, balancing the man's easy comfort against the more charged atmosphere surrounding him. Published by Dupuis under the Aire Libre imprint in 2010, this second volume promises the same thoughtful, character-driven storytelling that makes the series such a rewarding read.
