Mike Hawthorne is easily one of the most underrated artists in American comics. Given this level of appreciation, it's no wonder he's skipped off to produce work for the French market. There's a preview of the first book he's been working on for the BD publisher Ankama Editions, Oms En Série: 1 Terr, Sauvage, on the BD Gest website. There are some lovely pages at that link, the line work and color palette remind me of Moebius's early-'80s work such as L'Incal and Les Jardins d'Edena, and the plot that can be discerned from this short section remind me of that one Porno For Pyros song.  All together now: "We'll make great pets, we'll make great pets."
