Fauna en symboliek #1

Jean-Claude Servais opens his Fauna en Symboliek series with De Sluwe Vos, a 2023 Dupuis album steeped in the quiet tension between the human and animal worlds. The cover, drawn and inked by Servais himself, places a young auburn-haired woman face-to-face with an enormous fox or wolf-like creature, the two regarding each other with an almost meditative intimacy — candlelight and flowers framing the moment in an atmosphere somewhere between fairytale and fable. It's a beautifully composed image that signals a series with real emotional depth and a genuine reverence for the natural world.
