Le Petit Poucet #[nn]

A forbidding castle looms through a dense, shadowy forest under a pale moon — Le Hir's cover for this Mosquito edition of Le Petit Poucet sets an atmosphere that is unmistakably dark-fairy-tale, rendered in a striking blue-grey palette that feels both timeless and quietly unsettling. The silhouetted pines frame the turrets like a trap closing in, promising a retelling of the classic Perrault tale that leans into its more foreboding roots. Published in 2018 by Mosquito, this is a beautifully moody package for anyone drawn to European bande dessinée with a strong visual identity.
