Abélard, Ou les errances de trois voyageurs solitaires #[nn]

A bear in a striped sailor's shirt stands alone in the twilight grass, gazing upward at a bare branch where a small bird-like creature wrapped in a rust-colored cape perches beneath a crescent moon — two solitary souls separated by space yet sharing the same dusky sky. Hautière and Dillies bring a quietly melancholic poetry to this Dargaud album, whose subtitle — *Ou les errances de trois voyageurs solitaires* — promises a tale of wandering and longing told through beautifully understated art. If you're drawn to bande dessinée with warmth and a contemplative soul, this 2021 release deserves a place on your shelf.
