Fog #2

A haunting, Art Nouveau–inflected cover sets the tone for this 2000 Casterman album from Bonin and Seiter — a solitary figure draped in vivid orange reclines in quiet contemplation, surrounded by misty, grey-green botanical forms and shadowy background figures barely visible through the haze. Subtitled Le destin de Jane, this second volume of Fog promises a story steeped in atmosphere and introspection. The delicate linework and muted palette make it an immediately arresting piece of French-Belgian comics art.
