Le courrier de Casablanca #1

Two vintage biplanes soar low over the terracotta rooftops and coastline of Casablanca in Philippe Tarral's beautifully rendered cover for this 2016 opener from Editions Paquet. The aircraft — detailed down to their registration markings and strut-work — evoke the golden age of airmail aviation with real affection, promising a story steeped in sun, sky, and North African atmosphere. Writer Pascal Davoz launches the series with "Christina," and with Véronique Gourdin's warm, luminous colors setting the tone, Le Courrier de Casablanca looks like a treat for anyone who loves adventure told at altitude.
