Le Vol d'Icare #[nn]

Published by Glénat in 2003, Le Vol d'Icare is a striking Franco-Belgian album from Etienne Schréder that weaves the myth of Icarus into a modern setting. The cover is a visual feast: a contemporary man in glasses and an orange shirt cradles a weathered Minotaur skull, while surrounding panels hint at ancient labyrinths, classical statuary, a brooding castle, and scenes of conflict — past and present colliding in a single frame. It's a beautifully composed invitation into a story that clearly draws deep from Greek mythology while keeping one foot firmly in the present day.
