La Petite Bédéthèque des savoirs #27

Part of Le Lombard's charming La Petite Bédéthèque des savoirs series, this 2019 volume brings the story of Homo Sapiens to life through writer Antoine Balzeau and artist Pierre Bailly's collaboration. The cover, illustrated and inked by Bailly, frames two figures in profile — one with glasses, one without — facing each other across a vibrant teal background filled with a swirling, lively crowd of expressive human figures in warm oranges and blues, evoking the sheer diversity and energy of our species. It's an inviting visual promise of science made accessible and engaging through the thoughtful medium of comics.
