L'autre Monde #1

The opening volume of L'autre Monde — "Le pays roux" — arrives from Le Vaisseau d'Argent in 1991 with a cover that immediately signals something wonderfully strange: a twilight landscape populated by fantastical machinery, crumbling towers, and a ghostly white horse leaping through a moonlit sky, all bathed in the warm amber and teal tones that give the "roux" world its distinctive character. Florence Magnin both drew and colored this richly layered scene, and the depth of detail rewards a long look before you even open the cover. A generous, imaginative beginning to what promises to be an otherworldly journey.
