Mémoire de cendres #5

The fifth volume of Philippe Jarbinet's Mémoire de cendres arrives with a quietly haunting cover: a fair-haired young figure in a grey cloak presses close to a rough stone wall, while a dark-haired companion leans in beside them, the two sharing an atmosphere of hushed urgency and vulnerability. Subtitled La danse des géants, this 1999 Glénat release promises the kind of intimate, tension-laden storytelling that has defined the series, rendered here in Jarbinet's characteristically delicate linework and muted earthy palette.
