Djinn #8

Ana Mirallès's lush, painterly cover for this 2008 Dargaud Benelux release draws you immediately into a shadowy, vine-threaded swamp, where a mysterious young woman adorned with flowing botanical tattoos rises from the dark water beneath a wide-brimmed hat. The dense tropical foliage and brooding atmosphere perfectly set the tone for "Onrust," the eighth chapter of Jean Dufaux's sensuous, globe-spanning Djinn series. If you've been following this saga of intrigue and enchantment, this volume promises another richly atmospheric installment.
