Comics master Philippe Druillet muses on death in this psychedelic tale of drug-addled biker gangs battling it out at the end of the world.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

In 1975, Philippe Druillet lost his wife Nicole to cancer. He exorcised her death left behind in The Night, a nihilistic story about the inevitable ending that none of us can avoid.

Set in a desolate, post-apocalyptic world, The Night follows gangs of dope-addicted bikers on a collision course for a bloody battle for the ultimate shoot.
