Deo Gratias #[nn]

Published by Dargaud in 1983, this hardcover album from Dimitri presents a striking cover dominated by a robed, cross-bearing priest figure with arms outstretched, flanked by wide-eyed children in white surplices — all rendered in Dimitri's loose, expressive line work with bursts of chaotic energy in the background. A small French tricolor tucked into the title lettering adds a pointed national flavor to the irreverent tableau. Fans of European satirical comics will find this album's cover alone a bold statement of what's inside.
