Les Ogres-Dieux #1

The cover of this 2014 Soleil album sets a haunting tone immediately: a small, pale boy stands alone in an ornate gothic hall, dwarfed by the looming, tattooed giant who fills the shadows behind him — the contrast in scale is genuinely unsettling. Bertrand Gatignol's cover art, rendered in stark blacks and grays with intricate architectural detail, makes the threat feel both monumental and intimate. Writer Hubert and artist Gatignol announce Petit, the opening volume of Les Ogres-Dieux, as a dark fairy tale with serious ambition.
