Codex Angélicus #1

From Gloris and Bourgouin, this opening chapter of Codex Angélicus announces itself with an atmosphere of hushed, unsettling wonder. The cover — painted in deep shadows and amber luminescence by Bourgouin — shows a blonde figure leaning over a glowing, ornate iron casket suspended among a tangle of pipes and cables, white feathers drifting downward into the darkness below. It's a hauntingly beautiful image that sets the tone for what promises to be a dark, mysterious series steeped in the otherworldly.
