Le secret des Libellules #[nn]

Published by Futuropolis in 1987 under their La Pomme Verte imprint, Le Secret des Libellules is a charming Franco-Belgian album by Chomet, whose loose, expressive linework is on full display right from this cover. The image draws you in immediately: an elderly, sharp-featured man and a younger woman with tousled hair sit across from each other at a small café table, caught in what feels like a quietly loaded conversation. It's an intimate, character-driven opening to what promises to be a story told with wit and careful observation.
