The image above, drawn by Hippolyte, is from an amazing comic I just read, coincidentally enough, this past week when borders were on my mind. It's called Les Ombres (The Shadows in translation) & is a comic adaption of a stage play, written by the playwright, Vincent Zabus. Described in the reviews on its page on Good Reads by one person as "Kafka meets Alice In Wonderland," to me it was equal parts beautiful & harrowing. As someone who reads a lot of superhero comics, & mostly still enjoys them, I'm always glad to stumble across this sort of comic, which shows how the medium can fit most styles - & perhaps even improve them. I recommend it. & not just because it shows a very obvious border!
