Les mémoires d'Amoros #3

The third volume of Les Mémoires d'Amorés arrives from Frémok with a striking cover that pairs deep shadow with bursts of bold yellow — a solitary figure in a patterned dress stands bathed in that warm light, framed by the angular geometry of a doorway or corridor that stretches dramatically upward. Federico del Barrio and Felipe H. Cava bring a mood of quiet tension and melancholy poetry to this 2004 Franco-Belgian release, perfectly captured in that title, Les Ailes Calmes — the calm wings. Fans of contemplative, atmospheric European comics will find much to savor here.
