Brindille #1

Federico Bertolucci's lush artwork sets an enchanting tone for this first volume of Brindille, subtitled "Les chasseurs d'ombres" — a two-part fantasy series written by Brrémaud and published by Vents d'Ouest in 2018. The cover draws you in immediately: a young blonde girl crouches in a sun-dappled forest, cradling a small glowing creature in her hands, her expression tender and absorbed, while shadowy, menacing figures lurk among the dark trees behind her. The contrast between her quiet warmth and the looming threat in the background promises a story that balances wonder and danger in equal measure.
