You again! (Yves Chaland, from "Bob Fish")

This is from the book Les cybers ne sont pas des hommes ("Cybers are not men"), in which François Landon wrote the script. The book follows a format in which text appears on one page, then a wordless splash page on the next.

Me, I found the 1st/3rd-person narrative rather surreal, almost cynical in tone, in which a couple survivors of a plane crash must contend with a mad scientist's collection of robots... or something like that. Very 50's American sci-fi movie-style, it seemed to me.

The opening text begins: (thanks to Google-Translate)

So an interesting thought-experiment I guess, but I feel like Chaland pulled this kind of thing off far more effectively with his own Freddy Lombard, which was a pretty lively pastiche / parody series.

If any native French-speaker knows this one, I'd be interested in your views. Certainly the art is neat to look at for any LC-fancier!

Oh, and if you're not familiar with Chaland:
