La vallée des merveilles #[nn]

From Olivier Melano comes this evocative graphic novel set 5,000 years ago during the Copper Age — a premise as ancient as the rocky landscape sprawling across this cover. The artwork draws you straight into a rugged mountain valley where a group of figures, including two children in the foreground navigating the craggy terrain with a staff, are scattered across the sunlit stone, a dramatic storm-wreathed peak looming in the distance behind them. Published by L'école des loisirs in 2006, La Vallée des Merveilles promises a genuinely immersive journey into prehistoric life among real landscapes carved by time.
