Axolot - Histoires extraordinaires & sources d'étonnement #5

The fifth volume of Delcourt's Axolot anthology — subtitled Histoires extraordinaires & sources d'étonnement — brings together a remarkable roster of contributors including Patrick Baup, Erwann Surcouf, Elizabeth Holleville, Lucie Albrecht, Weldohnson, Leslie Plée, Héloïse Chochois, Holly R., Yannick Grossetête, Marie Dumoulin, Geoffroy Monde, and Boulet. The cover, packed with warm sepia tones, conjures a wonderfully cluttered curiosity shop atmosphere — a grandfather clock, a ghostly draped figure, a skull, stacked drawers labeled with each artist's name, and a goggled girl amid scattered papers and mysterious objects, all promising the strange and the marvellous within. Published in 2021, this collection feels like a cabinet of wonders waiting to be opened.
