Félina #[nn]

A masked woman in a sweeping black cape reclines gracefully in a gondola against a vivid turquoise Venetian backdrop — Annie Goetzinger's cover art for this 1979 Glénat album is quietly arresting, balancing elegance with an air of intrigue. Written by Víctor Mora and fully realized by Goetzinger as artist, inker, and colorist, Félina showcases the kind of sophisticated Franco-Belgian storytelling that made the late 1970s such a rich era for the bande dessinée album format. The cool confidence of that masked figure, poised and watchful on the water, promises a story with real style.
