Destins #10

A solitary figure stands before a luminous, branching tree that glows an ethereal turquoise against the dark, while above looms a shadowy woman and a weathered building — an arresting cover that perfectly captures the brooding, fate-laden atmosphere of Frank Giroud, Florent Germaine, and Sébastien Goethals's collaborative work. Destins has long been celebrated for its anthology-style explorations of human lives at crossroads, and this 2011 Glénat entry, subtitled Le Mur, promises the same quiet intensity that defines the series. The stark contrast between darkness and that glowing, vein-like tree makes this one of the more visually haunting covers in the run.
