Les Temps Nouveaux #1

A moody, rain-slicked street sets the tone for this opening volume from the Warnauts-Raives duo, published by Le Lombard in 2011. The cover draws the eye immediately to a man carrying a battered suitcase alongside a woman in a striking red dress, with a priest and a bicycle nearby, while a second woman in blue stands beside a vintage automobile in the murky background — a gathering of figures that feels charged with quiet tension. Les Temps Nouveaux Tome 1 promises the kind of grounded, atmospheric European storytelling that Warnauts and Raives do so well.
