Le Réseau Papillon #1

A young boy and red-haired girl crouch tensely behind a stone wall in what appears to be an occupied French village, while armed soldiers stand watch on a bridge in the background — immediately setting a tone of wartime danger and youthful courage. Published in 2018 by Editions Jungle, this opening volume of Le Réseau Papillon (subtitled "Aux arts, citoyens !") introduces Franck Dumanche and Nicolas Otéro's adventure with a cover that hints at children navigating a world far too serious for their age. Otéro's warm, detailed linework and colors bring both the idyllic countryside setting and its lurking menace to vivid life.
