Histoires et Légendes Normandes #7

The seventh volume in this French anthology series dedicated to the myths and lore of Normandy arrives with a brooding, atmospheric cover that sets a seafaring tone perfectly suited to its subtitle, Complaintes des Flots — Laments of the Waves. A cloaked figure leans over what appears to be the weathered deck of an old sailing vessel, amid tangled rigging and dim, moody light that evokes stormy Norman seas. With an impressive roster of creators listed — Baud, Bostal, Brazao, Céka, Charbonnel, Charline, Chevalier, Cordoba, Despues, Fleury, Gibie, Istolainen, Masson, Mika, Ray, Reynaud, Sidoit, Souillard, Tandiang, and Tanguy — this 2015 Varou publication promises a rich tapestry of maritime tales drawn from the haunting traditions of the Norman coast.
