A Taste of Chlorine - Bastien Vives

A very simple but very engaging story with beautiful, beautiful artwork. Very little dialogue. There are whole scenes without dialogue and sections of 10 or 20 pages without any text, so you're just looking at the pictures and taking in what's happening. There's a bit of an art to this. The ending is rather mysterious. I'm not sure if I'm missing something or not, which is slightly frustrating. Anyway, this is a very good example of simple, minimalist, stripped down visual storytelling.
