Minimum Wage #1

Bob Fingerman's Minimum Wage arrives in this 2014 French-language edition from Les Humanoïdes Associés, subtitled Salaire Minimum, Galère Maximum — a title that sets the tone perfectly. The cover places a young, casually dressed couple front and center, surrounded by a densely packed crowd of vividly drawn characters rendered in warm orange tones, hinting at the busy, lived-in world they inhabit. Fingerman's sharp, expressive linework gives every face in that ensemble its own personality, making this an immediately inviting slice-of-life comic.
