Groepstherapie #1

The cover of this 2020 Dargaud Benelux release sets a striking visual tone: a small, bespectacled figure sits hunched at a drawing desk in a spare, geometric room, while a massive swirl of dark, chaotic creatures looms overhead in stark contrast. Manu Larcenet's stark black-and-white imagery against that warm cream background captures something at once comic and quietly unsettling — the lone creative soul dwarfed by the turmoil of his own imagination. "De dansende ster" opens Groepstherapie with a cover that promises both wit and depth from an artist fully in command of his craft.
