Les lions endormis #[nn]

The cover of Les Lions Endormis sets a striking, painterly tone — a young woman with vivid red-green hair is rendered in loose, expressive watercolor washes of orange, yellow, and teal, her posture suggesting both tension and vulnerability. Writers Sylvie Gaillard and Fanny Montgermont, with the collaboration of Joana Balavoine, bring this 2021 Grand Angle release a visual poetry that feels as much fine art as sequential storytelling. If you're drawn to bandes dessinées that lead with atmosphere and emotional weight, this one announces itself with real confidence.
