Naciré et les machines #1

In the rust-eaten city of Cité-Usine, where decay spreads like a living thing, train driver Naciré finds himself drawn to the barrier worker he barely knows. As their fragile bond deepens, he faces a choice that will take him far beyond the tracks—into silence, exile, and a war that may not be what it seems. "Les larmes de rouille" is a haunting, visually rich story by Frédéric Pontarolo, whose singular art style—pencils, inks, and colors all his own—brings the city’s melancholy pulse to life, with a cover by Pontarolo that captures the story’s quiet, rust-stained sorrow.
