Djinn #12

The twelfth volume of Jean Dufaux and Ana Mirallès's sumptuous Franco-Belgian series arrives with a cover that perfectly captures its blend of mystery and sensuality — a richly adorned woman, her skin traced with intricate henna patterns, holds a glowing blue gemstone while dark, smoke-like tendrils curl around her against a deep crimson background. Mirallès's art is breathtaking in its detail, from the jeweled headdress and dangling ruby earrings to the quiet intensity in the figure's gaze. Un Honneur Retrouvé — "An Honor Restored" — promises another chapter steeped in the exotic atmosphere and compelling drama that has defined this long-running Dargaud series.
