Le Voyage Extraordinaire #3

Set against a moonlit London skyline — Big Ben looming in the background — Silvio Camboni's cover for this 2014 Vents d'Ouest album presents a thrilling scene: two young figures crouch on a rooftop terrace while a massive, intricate mechanical creature looms overhead in the night sky. The ornate red-bordered design gives the whole package a Victorian storybook elegance that perfectly suits Denis-Pierre Filippi and Camboni's Jules Verne-inspired adventure. Tome 3 promises the same sense of wide-eyed wonder and steampunk grandeur that makes this French series such a treat.
