I thought this was morbidly fun post for Halloween, and note the drole Henry Kissinger character.

This little story was originally published in the mid-to-late 70’s, and later included in the Memories trade paper back (Humanoids, 2005). Bilal is known for such works as the Nikopol Trilogy, Légendes d’Aujourd’hui, and Partie de chasse. I was going to say Serbia’s Enki Bilal, but…

Bilal was born in Belgrade to a Czech mother and a Bosnian Muslim father. When he was five years old, his father managed to emigrate to Paris. Enki and the rest of the family followed four years later. Bilal has no sense of belonging to any ethnic group and religion, nor is he obsessed with soil and roots. He said in one interview: ‘I feel Bosnian by my father’s origin, a Serb by my place of birth and a Croat by my relationship with childhood friends, not to mention there’s my Czech half’. --WP
