Le Livre des Destins #1

From the creative partnership of Serge Le Tendre and Franck Biancarelli comes this intriguing French album published by Soleil in 2004. The cover sets a wonderfully mysterious tone: a young man in a yellow jacket walks a nocturnal Parisian street absorbed in a small blue book, flanked by a remarkable procession — a hulking creature, an elderly woman, white-coated figures, and a leaping green being overhead — all seemingly connected to whatever he is reading. Le Livre des Destins volume one promises a blend of urban atmosphere and fantastical strangeness that makes you want to open it immediately.
