Appelez-moi maîtresse #[nn]

A candlelit bathroom sets an intimate, grown-up mood on Clara Cuadrado's cover for this French-language graphic novel from Marabout's MARAbulles imprint. Two figures share a clawfoot tub — a red-haired woman at ease in the warm water and a dark-haired companion seated at the opposite end — surrounded by glowing candles and soft, muted tones that give the whole scene a quietly sensual, slice-of-life warmth. Published in 2017 at 17,90 EUR, Appelez-moi Maîtresse looks like an appealing addition to the growing shelf of thoughtful, relationship-focused bandes dessinées aimed at adult readers.
