Les intrus

Japanese-American cartoonist Adrian Tomine is one of the most incisive observers of urban life today. His stories often begin and end abruptly, portraying mundane routines and emotional inertia with precision and irony. Les Intrus collects his most recent work, showcasing his continued formal experimentation—minimalist postcard panels, dense five-tier grids, and a nostalgic use of color.

While early works were tinged with cynicism, Tomine’s recent stories show a deepening empathy, aligning him with Japanese Gekiga traditions as well as American underground comics. Les Intrus is a stunning example of how comics can articulate the complexity of the modern human condition—unsentimentally, but truthfully.

We pack books to arrive in the condition described: protected corners, rigid backing, paper cushioning, and a sturdy outer package. Heavier or collectible editions receive an extra layer of protection. Any defects are documented on the product page—packing doesn’t hide condition, it reduces transit risk.

We ship from Germany, usually on the next business day after payment. Germany: typically 2–5 business days, EU: often 3–7 business days; international depends on destination and customs. Tracking is included for all services and is provided once the parcel is handed over to the carrier. During peak periods, transit times may extend. See the Shipping Policy.

Returns are possible within 30 days of delivery (e.g., if the item doesn’t match the description or you changed your mind). Please contact us before sending anything back—we’ll provide the return address and the best return option. Items should be returned in the same condition as received. Once the return is received and checked, we refund to the original payment method. See the Refund Policy.
