Hypericon #[nn]

Manuele Fior brings his painter's eye to this 2022 Dargaud release, and the cover alone signals something thoughtful and unhurried — a figure resting on a low bed, bare legs catching the afternoon light, with yellow wildflowers in a mug, scattered newspapers, and a Berlin travel guide lying on the wooden floor nearby. It's an intimate, quietly evocative image that feels more like a European art film still than a typical comics cover. If Fior's luminous, mood-drenched visual storytelling appeals to you, Hypericon looks like a very compelling read.
