Les Fées Valentines #1

Three young girls take flight above a rosy Parisian skyline — one in a gothic lolita dress, one in a frilly pink confection, and one in a simple white frock — trailing sparkles as the Eiffel Tower gleams in the background. It's a wonderfully charming opener to Les Fées Valentines, with Crip's cover art capturing both the magic and the distinct personalities of the trio right from the start. Published by Dargaud in 2016 with writing by BéKa, this first volume — subtitled Traversine au bois dormant — promises a playful, fairy-tale-tinged adventure that fans of all-ages Franco-Belgian comics will find hard to resist.
