Les pêcheurs d'étoiles #[nn]

A riverboat drifts through misty waters on the cover of this 2019 Mosquito album, setting an atmospheric, period-tinged backdrop for the five central figures — two women, two men, and a young boy — who stand together with quiet resolve, their expressions carrying both determination and vulnerability. Titled Les Chaînes de la liberté ("The Chains of Freedom"), this volume of Les Pêcheurs d'étoiles by Lacaf and Moriquand promises a story steeped in the tensions of liberty and constraint. It's a handsome, thoughtfully composed album that pulls you in before you've even turned the first page.
