Inlandsis #3

The concluding chapter of "De nalatenschap van de eerste mensen" arrives with a cover that sets a genuinely arresting tone: a lone, feathered or fur-clad figure stands silhouetted against a swirling cosmic vortex of deep reds and golds, arms raised as if in supplication or defiance toward something vast and unknowable. Paul Frichet's artwork balances the intimate — one small figure dwarfed by the universe — against something ancient and overwhelming, a fitting visual promise for the finale of Stéphane Betbeder's trilogy. Published by Daedalus in 2015, this third volume looks to bring Inlandsis to a resonant close with the same atmospheric ambition that defined the series.
