Les naufragés du temps #10

Paul Gillon's long-running French science-fiction series Les Naufragés du Temps reaches its tenth volume with "Le Cryptomère," published by Les Humanoïdes Associés in 1989. The cover, fully rendered by Gillon, places a bald, yellow-suited figure in the foreground, gripped from behind by a menacing, gape-mouthed creature with elongated claws — a tense, visceral image set against a backdrop of industrial machinery and murky atmosphere. Marie-Paule Alluard's colors lend the scene a vivid, unsettling palette that perfectly captures the series' blend of adventure and eerie otherworldliness.
