Love these ever since I first saw them on my first trip to France in 2006; the best part is how the author bio begins, "Reclus, malade, misanthrope et éminemment matérialiste…", which translates as "Reclusive, ill, misanthropic and eminently materialistic…"—only in France does that description work as a selling point.
I Love love love the 1st, 3rd, and 5th covers to the point I may buy the bastards off of Amazon.fr just to scan to posters. I wonder who did the art? Good post, as usual.
