Fikrie #[nn]

Published by La Boîte à Bulles in 2006, Fikrie is a work of franco-belgian graphic storytelling from Joël Alessandra, whose painterly cover immediately signals something thoughtful and unhurried. The cover presents a seated young woman rendered in warm, earthy watercolor tones — blues and ochres — with a tropical palm and tiled architecture suggesting a sun-drenched coastal setting. It's a quietly intimate image that promises a story rooted in place, body, and human experience.
