Codex Angélicus #3

Lush and haunting, the cover of this third volume in Gloris and Bourgouin's Codex Angélicus series draws the eye into a dense, emerald-shadowed jungle where a woman cradles a winged, skeletal figure in an intimate and unsettling embrace. A stone angel watches from the misty background, adding a sense of ancient mystery to the scene. Bourgouin's painterly cover work gives the whole image a dreamlike, gothic atmosphere that fits perfectly with the "Thomas" chapter of this 2010 Daedalus series.
