Scènes de la vie de banlieue #1

Part of Dargaud's Histoires Fantastiques line, this 1982 collection from Caza delivers suburban life with a decidedly surreal twist. The cover sets the tone immediately: a wild-haired, muscular figure swings an axe amid a shower of debris, with what appears to be a smashed television and mechanical fragments flying in all directions against a vivid orange-rust background. It's a wonderfully absurd image that promises sharp, imaginative storytelling lurking beneath the everyday veneer of banlieue existence.
