L' Hydrie #[nn]

Published by Atrabile in 2011, L'Hydrie is a striking graphic novel from Nicolas Presl, whose cover immediately sets a distinctive, atmospheric tone. Against a deep olive-grey background, bold orange antlers — or perhaps intertwined branches — curl and twist in an almost hypnotic, abstract tangle. It's a quietly arresting image that promises something thoughtful and visually inventive within.
