J'ai découvert la série par hasard, dans "ma" bibliothèque publique, l'empruntant en faisant confiance à son auteur (le fameux "Jodo" de "L'Incal" ou de "La Caste des métabarons"). Bien m'en pris, car j'ai rarement vu bande dessinée mettre aussi bien en scène la cruauté. Au trait de Bess, qui me semble allier efficacité et vrai mélange des formes et des teintes, répond le brio du scénario qui m'a littéralement mené par le bout du nez avec l'histoire de ce personnage mutant, n'ayant sa place nulle part, et choisissant donc d'évoluer dans le plus pourri des mondes (dans lequel personne, ni les enfants, ni les mères, ni les dieux, n’est jamais innocent). Vraiment un très beau livre. ( )
