'Overground' by Caza
from Heavy Metal magazine, October 1981
Another fine comic from Caza, set in the same public housing project building (presumably designed by Le Courbousier, and located in a banlieue district of Paris) as many of his other comics from the era. This time, it's a bourgeoisie couple who are complaining about the presence of 'hippies' in their building. The husband makes a fateful decision to render his concerns in person..........
What is particularly noteworthy about this strip is the sophistication of the color renderings; remember, this was well before computer / digital coloring was in use.

Wonderful to see that again! Thanks so much for sharing it!
Indeed, Caza's work is among the greats in this terrific issue from the early era of Heavy Metal Magazine. Though he wasn't always charitable with the bourgeois apartment-dwellers.
thanks
