Le Fils du Yéti #[nn]

From Casterman's Écritures imprint comes this quietly compelling 2014 work by Didier Tronchet. The cover sets an immediate, bittersweet tone: a small boy in a striped shirt stands with his back to us, facing the looming, softly rendered blue face of a yeti — a gentle giant who gazes down with an expression that feels more melancholy than menacing. The stark simplicity of the composition, with those two solitary figures against a near-white background, promises something deeply human hiding beneath the fantastical premise.
