Manuele Fior's adaptation of The Anomaly
Manuele Fior adapts Hervé Le Tellier's novel The Anomaly into a graphic novel, blending the original's high-concept premise with his own signature intimate storytelling style. The work explores the lives of passengers who discover their own duplicates after a mysterious flight incident.
Despite the complex, thriller-like structure of the source material, Fior successfully infuses the narrative with his personal poetic sensibilities and recurring character archetypes. The graphic novel features various cameos and visual references to the author's previous works, grounding the global mystery in familiar emotional territory. Through the lens of the duplicated characters, the story examines complex relationships and the human desire to alter one's destiny. It stands as a cohesive addition to Fior's bibliography rather than a departure from his established artistic identity.
