Jolin la teigne #1

The opening volume of Jolin la Teigne arrives from Vents d'Ouest with a cover that immediately signals something special: a massive, weathered mechanical bear dominates the foreground, cradling what appears to be a small child or doll in his great arms, surrounded by scattered books and trinkets. Behind them, a grand circular stained-glass window glows warmly, hinting at an ornate, fantastical world of palaces and adventure. Morvan and Rubén launch this 2003 series with a cover full of tenderness and scale — a genuinely charming contrast between the hulking iron bear and the delicate world surrounding him.
