Lucille by Ludovic Debeurme (Top Shelf Productions, 2011, 544pp.)
Lucille, a young anorexic woman, and Arthur, the son of a disgraced sailor, fall in love and run away together to Italy. Along the way, they fall prey to fears of abandonment and insecurities that test the bonds of their relationship. Debeurme’s bare ink sketches suit the story well with their storyboard simplicity, and his examination of the characters’ past histories and motivations turn an otherwise flat storyline into a moving tale of human frailty. Recommended for an adult audience due to sexual content, language.
