L'Écureuil #2

A striking 2017 release from Éditions Sarbacane, this second volume of L'Écureuil — subtitled Par-Dessus la Commune — plunges readers into the turbulent world of the Paris Commune, as suggested by the cover's dramatic scene of street barricades, crowds of soldiers and civilians, and French tricolor flags flying amid burning Haussmann-style buildings. Soaring above the chaos is a caped, luminous figure — the Squirrel herself — rendered in warm golds against a sky stained a deep, smoky red. By Grolleau, Bonelli, and Mialet, this volume promises historical adventure with a fantastical spark, all for 14.50 EUR.
