Magda Ikklepotts #1

The opening volume of Magda Ikklepotts introduces us to its striking young heroine: a pale, sharp-eyed girl with tousled hair and luminous yellow eyes, a dark bird perched on her shoulder, all set against a swirling backdrop of runic symbols that hint at a world steeped in magic. Krystel handles every line and color of this cover with evident confidence, giving Magda a quietly defiant presence that immediately draws you in. Published by Ankama in 2014, this French series looks like a compelling blend of folklore and fantasy — a great place to start.
