Geis #1

The first volume of Alexis Deacon's Geis series arrives with a cover that immediately draws you in: a pale, wide-eyed child in a teal cloak picks her way through towering stacks of ancient books, lantern light flickering as a massive, shadowy creature looms in the darkness behind her. Subtitled Une Question de Vie et de Mort ("A Matter of Life and Death"), this 2017 Gallimard release promises a story steeped in atmosphere, mystery, and the kind of quiet dread that lingers. Deacon's cover art alone — richly textured and deeply moody — makes this a compelling addition to any graphic novel collection.
