Nils #3

A young child lies vulnerable on a frozen ground, cradled in pale blue stillness, while massive wolves prowl at the edges and a murder of crows erupts from twisted, skeletal trees — Antoine Carrion's cover art for this third volume is breathtakingly atmospheric. Jerôme Hamon and Carrion's Nils continues with "De levensboom" (The Tree of Life), and everything about this haunting, wintry tableau suggests a story steeped in folklore and quiet peril. If the first two installments drew you in, this 2021 Dutch-language edition promises the saga's mythic tension is only deepening.
