Piotruś Pan #2

Régis Loisel's darker, more contemplative take on Peter Pan continues in this 2001 Polish edition with "Opikanoba" — and the cover sets a haunting tone immediately. A young red-haired boy lies face-down and motionless on a barren, shadowy ground, dark smoky wisps curling ominously above him, suggesting exhaustion, defeat, or something more unsettling. It's a quietly arresting image that signals Loisel's Peter Pan is far from the cheerful fairy tale most readers might expect.
