Le Vent dans les Sables - Les crayons #3

Published by Delcourt in 2013, this third volume of Le Vent dans les Sables — Les crayons presents Michel Plessix's preparatory artwork in an elegant package that feels as much art book as comic. The cover itself is a beauty: a warm terracotta-toned Moorish arch frames a softly rendered figure, all enclosed within a delicate lattice border that evokes the ornamental craft of North African architecture. It's a quietly stunning invitation into Plessix's sketchwork, perfect for anyone drawn to the visual poetry behind finished sequential art.
