The Case of The Girl from Deja Vu is the first volume of The Nightmare Brigade by Frank Thillez (writer) & Yomgui Dumont (illustrator) Released 22nd Feb 2022 by Papercutz, it's 112 pages and is available in hardcover, paperback, and ebook formats.
The eARC provided for review was approximately half the finished graphic novel, but more than enough content to give a feel for the flow of the story and art. This is a well plotted middle grade to young adult graphic novel about a team of researchers who are able to infiltrate people's dreams in order to help them process trauma and recover from their nightmares.
There is a creepy sense of dreamlike unreality which the art suits very well.
Originally published in French, the translation work is seamless and not at all apparent in the English language version.
Four stars. Maybe a little creepy for very sensitive readers, but there's no graphic violence or objectionable material (just that all-pervasive creeping dread - very nightmare/dreamlike).
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
