L'Amirale des mers du Sud #[nn]

A striking watercolor face fills the cover of this French-language graphic novel — a wide-open mouth rendered in warm oranges and earthy tones dominates the composition, radiating a raw, expressive energy that immediately draws you in. Carlos Nine and Jorge Zentner bring their distinct sensibilities to L'Amirale des mers du Sud, published by Éditions de la Cerise in 2019, promising something visceral and visually bold. If this cover is any indication, this is a book that announces itself loudly and dares you to look away.
