Olympia #[nn]

A striking Art Deco aesthetic sets the tone for this Dargaud release, with a bold red-and-black cover depicting a self-possessed young woman in a leather aviator's helmet and goggles, her fur-collared jacket lending her an air of adventurous sophistication. The work of Philippe Bertrand and Jean-Marie de Busscher — with a preface by Enki Bilal — this 2015 volume carries real creative weight. Whether she's a pilot, a racer, or something else entirely, Olympia herself commands the frame with quiet, determined confidence.
