Social Fiction by Chantal Montellier
Appearing together in English for the first time, three politically charged sci-fi graphic novellas by a pioneering French comics artist.Dark, smart, and indomitably cool, the '70s and '80s dystopian visions of Chantal Montellier still unsettle.
Visitors to an underground mall must recreate civilization after a nuclear strike may have wiped out the rest of humanity. Newlyweds find themselves implicated in a government eugenics program. A disembodied authority reprimands a man for stepping out of view of a security camera.
In this collection of three novellas-Wonder City,Shelter, and1996-published together in English for the first time, Montellier's blend of dark humor, gripping storytelling, and consistent focus on the perils of totalitarianism shows her to be a master of both comics and science fiction.
Social Fiction includes a Q&A between Chantal Montellier and Geoffrey Brock.
