Les classiques du dessin animé en bande dessinée #1

Published by Dargaud in 1990 as part of their "Classiques du Dessin Animé en Bande Dessinée" series, this French-language adaptation of La Petite Sirène opens with a cover by Bill Morrison that captures the film's full emotional sweep. Ariel and Eric sit together on a seaside rock in the foreground, while the imposing figures of King Triton and the villainous Ursula loom large behind them above the spires of Atlantica — with the little crab Sebastian and the cheerful fish Flounder adding warmth to the scene below. It's a wonderfully composed image that balances romance and menace, making this a charming piece of Disney comics history from 1990.
