Op zoek naar de tijdvogel #1

This 2016 Dargaud Benelux edition of Op zoek naar de tijdvogel opens the series with "Vriend Javin," brought to life by writer-artist Régis Loisel and writer Serge Le Tendre, with inks by Dominique Lidwine. The cover, pencilled by Loisel and inked by Lidwine, presents a confident trio: a tall, elaborately dressed figure with striking blue eye makeup on the left, a fiery-haired young woman at center whose hair seems to blaze with actual flame, and a dark-haired young adventurer on the right, all posed with easy camaraderie against a deep green background. It's a warm, characterful introduction to what promises to be a richly imagined fantasy quest.
