La grande Peste #2

The concluding volume of Éric Stalner and Cédric Simon's two-part series arrives with a hauntingly beautiful cover — a shattered mirror overgrown with tangled vines, delicate white flowers, and drifting blue butterflies, while a skull rests half-buried among the creeping foliage and an hourglass stands sentinel nearby. The imagery weaves together fragility and resilience, decay and new growth, perfectly suited to a story subtitled Le Labyrinthe et la Guerre. Press quotes praising it as "une immersion au cœur du fléau" and "un récit haletant" speak to the ambition this 2021 French-language album more than earns.
