L'Étrange Vie de Nobody Owens #1

The French edition of Neil Gaiman and P. Craig Russell's adaptation arrives with a cover — pencilled and inked by Russell himself — that perfectly captures its eerie, tender atmosphere: a tall, caped figure stands protectively beside a small child amid a misty graveyard populated by softly glowing statues and ghostly figures drifting through the twilight. The blue-grey palette and delicate linework give the scene a dreamlike quality that feels equally haunting and strangely comforting. Published by Delcourt in 2015, this first volume brings together an impressive artistic ensemble — including Scott Hampton, Tony Harris, Jill Thompson, and Galen Showman — making it a visually rich adaptation of Gaiman's celebrated story of a boy raised among the dead.
