Il était une fois... l'homme #6

This sixth volume in Soleil's beloved Il était une fois… l'homme series whisks readers back to the Renaissance era of Léonard de Vinci, and the cover sets the playful tone beautifully. A white-bearded figure holds a birdcage while a grinning character soars overhead on a wonderfully rickety flying machine, and a third proudly displays a recognizable Renaissance portrait — all rendered in the series' warm, cartoonish style. It's a charming and fun invitation to explore one of history's most inventive periods through the cheerful lens this long-running French series does so well.
