Djinn #5

The fifth volume of Jean Dufaux and Ana Mirallès's sensual fantasy series takes the Djinn saga to the African continent with "Afrika." Mirallès's cover presents a striking young woman adorned with intricate white geometric body paint, her arms raised gracefully as she sits surrounded by woven textures, ceramic vessels, and scattered artifacts that evoke a richly atmospheric setting. With Mirallès handling every stage of the artwork herself — pencils, inks, and colors — the lush, painterly warmth she brings to this 2005 Dargaud release makes it an especially immersive entry in the series.
