La femme papillon #[nn]

The cover of this 2020 Futuropolis release sets an immediately intriguing mood: a lone figure hunches over a drawing table in a darkened room, surrounded by art supplies and a glowing computer monitor displaying a luminous green insect, while a shadowy moth-like creature looms outside the window. The tension between the intimate creative act and those unsettling winged presences — one digital, one lurking in the night — promises something genuinely atmospheric from Michel Coulon and Grégory Mardon. La Femme Papillon looks like exactly the kind of thoughtful, visually rich French bande dessinée that rewards a slow, careful read.
