Ontboezemingen #[nn]

Against a cool, muted teal background, Olivier Pont's cover presents a lone woman in a flowing lavender dress, her long auburn hair fanning out beneath her as she lies face-down — an image that feels simultaneously serene and quietly unsettling. Published in 2015 by Dargaud Benelux, Ontboezemingen ("Confessions") collects Pont's story "Chloë," and the minimalist cover art, with its delicate linework and restrained palette, signals a thoughtful, intimate work. Colorist Laurence Croix's soft tones give the composition an almost dreamlike quality that draws you in before you've even turned the first page.
