Les contes de la lune rose. Xavier Bouyssou and Chario Spirale

In French, Softcover, 13 x 18 cm, 192 pages. Le Monte-en-l'air BD Cul, 2024

This comic book, part of the BD-CUL collection from the publisher Le Monte-en-l'air, presents a satirical anthology that blends desire and horror to explore the 'sex-anxiety' of contemporary society. Through a surreal journey across different eras — from prehistory and Ancient Greece to the sinking of the Titanic — the authors use the fictional phenomenon of the 'pink moon' (which amplifies sexual vigor) to question the modern fear of nudity and the pressure for performance in ultra-connected worlds. The result is a work of dark humor and bold visuals, described as a sort of erotic The Twilight Zone where libido and the absurd walk hand in hand.
