Maléfices #1

A richly decorated deep-blue cover adorned with gold flourishes sets an enchanting tone for Maléfices: Les contes d'Alombrar, the opening volume in this French fantasy series from Éditions Jungle. The artwork showcases a determined blonde girl clutching a blade against a sweeping mountain backdrop, while a smaller dark-haired figure and a vivid red fox emerge from the shadows below her — hinting at a world where fairy-tale wonder and real danger intertwine. Created by Élia Bordier and Sanoe, this 2019 release looks like a genuinely captivating start to a series that wears its love of storybook atmosphere proudly on its sleeve.
