Dans l'habit du loup #[nn]

From Gallimard Bande Dessinée comes this visually striking 2023 work by Sid Sharp — Dans l'habit du loup ("In the Wolf's Clothing") — whose cover immediately pulls you into a lush, dark forest teeming with mushrooms, winding vines, insects, and watchful hidden eyes lurking at the edges. At its center, a soft grey rabbit-like creature holds up a toothy blue wolf mask to its face, that tension between innocence and disguise doing all the storytelling the cover needs. Sharp's richly layered, folk-art-inflected illustrations make this one of the more visually distinctive bande dessinée releases of 2023.
