Orakel #4

The fourth chapter of Orakel arrives with a haunting cover painted by Nicolas Demare — a hunched, hooded figure clutching a gnarled staff crouches in the foreground, their weathered face half-hidden beneath pale robes, while elegantly dressed women linger in a luminous, palatial background, blissfully unaware. The visual contrast between the grotesque and the graceful sets the tone perfectly for a story subtitled "De Misvormde" — The Deformed. Published by Daedalus in 2016, this Belgian series continues to impress with its atmospheric, painterly approach to dark fantasy storytelling.
