Les Aventures oubliées du Baron de Münchhausen #3

The third volume of Supiot's Les Aventures oubliées du Baron de Münchhausen arrives with a subtitled promise of "Chinoiseries" — tales of intrigue and Eastern misadventure worthy of the world's greatest fibber. The cover sets an atmospheric, dusky tone: the Baron's wizened, white-bearded face looms in the foreground, while behind him a melancholy young woman with a tear on her cheek emerges from a deep violet haze and shadowy mountains. It's a striking, painterly composition from Supiot that hints at adventure tinged with genuine emotion — a fine entry in this series of forgotten tall tales.
