Les Passagers du vent #1

François Bourgeon's celebrated maritime saga Les Passagers du vent opens here with "La Fille sous la dunette," this 2014 Delcourt edition presenting Bourgeon's own cover artwork in all its atmospheric glory. The cover draws you in immediately: a young barefoot woman clings to the rain-slicked rigging of a tall ship at night, wrapped in a yellow oilskin, her expression caught somewhere between determination and vulnerability against a pale moon breaking through storm clouds. It's a quietly gripping image — the kind that makes you want to know exactly how she got there.
