The Devil Never Sleeps
['Joe Mcculloch', 'Written By']
Blog - The Comics Journal
Social Fiction, published just now by NYRC, collects three of Montellier's serial albums from Métal hurlant: the aforementioned 1996 (1976-78); Shelter (1978-79); and Wonder City (1982).
Specifically, they are revised versions of those albums, sometimes significant re-drawn, and, in the case of Wonder City, also re-colored.
This is its first appearance in full English, and the first English translation of the later Wonder City.
Wonder City has a more explicit theme of resistance; a bustling metropolis' AI teledoctor is engaging in eugenics via covert sterilization of undesirable demographics, and a young couple makes a break for it.
There is a very curious undercutting of the lovers' triumph in Wonder City.
