Pline #5

The fifth volume of Pline arrives with a hauntingly beautiful cover rendered in delicate woodcut-style engraving — a procession of strange, mythological figures moves through a lush, ancient landscape of twisted trees and dense foliage, their forms somewhere between human and beast. Subtitled Sous les vents d'Éole ("Beneath the Winds of Aeolus"), this 2018 Casterman edition by Mari Yamazaki and Tori Miki continues the series' remarkable blend of classical antiquity and visual elegance. The cover alone signals that this volume ventures into wilder, more fantastical territory.
