Appearing together in English for the first time, three politically charged sci-fi graphic novellas by a pioneering French comics artist.

An anonymous official chides a man under surveillance for stepping out of view of a security camera; visitors to an underground mall are forced to form a new society when a nuclear strike may (or may not) have left them as the sole survivors on Earth; newlyweds living in an authoritarian New York City attempt to navigate the insidious hurdles of being permitted to have a child; and a Puerto Rican boxer discovers that segregation continues in America long after death.
 
These are the visions of Chantal Montellier, a contributor to the legendary Métal Hurlant , and the creator of some of the most striking and stirring science fiction comics of the 1970s and 1980s.
 
In this collection of three novellas, Wonder City , Shelter , and 1996 , 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.
