Greenwood #2

The second volume of Greenwood arrives in 2025 with all the cozy, storybook warmth that makes this series so enchanting — Jérémie Almanza's cover draws you straight into a cluttered, candlelit workshop where an anthropomorphic rabbit in a dark jacket writes at a desk, surrounded by a white owl perched nearby, a small fox companion, a wide-eyed white rabbit in a pink dress, and a winged creature peering in from the shadows, all nestled among shelves of curious objects and hanging trinkets. Writers Barbara Canepa, Anaïs Halard, and Mariella Manfré bring their tale of "De Wedstrijd" (The Contest) to life through Almanza's richly detailed illustrations, which feel like a fairy tale illuminated from within. If you're drawn to whimsical worlds populated by charming animal characters and atmospheric, hand-crafted-feeling art, this is very much one to seek out.
