Djinn #13

Volume 13 of Jean Dufaux and Ana Mirallès's sensuous Franco-Belgian series arrives with a cover that perfectly captures the world of Kim Nelson — the series' enigmatic protagonist posed languidly amid richly embroidered cushions and opulent drapery, adorned in golden jewelry against a backdrop of deep emerald and crimson. Mirallès's painterly linework and warm, jewel-toned palette give the scene an atmosphere of hushed, exotic intimacy that has defined this series from the start. If you've been following Djinn's blend of mystery and lush period romance, this 2016 Dargaud edition is exactly the kind of chapter you'll want on your shelf.
