A l'abri du volcan #1

The first volume of Olivier Giraud's *A l'abri du volcan* opens with a striking image: a lone figure crouched on a glowing geometric floor surrounded by molten, volcanic light, while three silhouetted figures stand framed in a distant doorway. Published in 2007 by Éditions Orphie, this French-language bande dessinée immediately establishes a mood of tension and mystery, with the contrast between the isolated protagonist and the watching trio hinting at something deeply unsettling. It's a visually compelling start to what promises to be a story where shelter and danger are uncomfortably close neighbors.
