La Croisière des Oubliés - Legends of today. BILAL - CHRISTIN La Croisière des Oubliés - Légendes d'aujourd'hui. Les Humanoïdes Associés, 1994. Large in-4 hardback, covers illustrated in color. 1994 reissue by Les Humanoïdes Associés of this first part of the cult Légendes d'aujourd'hui cycle, born of the masterly collaboration between Enki Bilal and Pierre Christin. The album abandons classic codes to explore a modern fantasy imbued with the social and political criticism of the 70s. The story features the unusual resistance of a French village that literally takes root in the sky to escape military and administrative pressures. Bilal's graphic design, already powerful and evocative, perfectly underlines the dreamlike, melancholy atmosphere of this innovative humanist fable.
