Résine #[nn]

Elodie Shanta's Résine, published by La Ville Brûle in 2021, announces itself with a cover that's quietly arresting — a cobalt blue field framed by delicate pink botanical ornaments, centering on a softly drawn, abstract figure adorned with a luminous four-pointed star. The elegant gothic lettering of the title and the understated, almost dreamlike illustration suggest a work with a distinctly personal, poetic sensibility. At 17,00 EUR, this Franco-Belgian release feels like a carefully crafted object as much as a comic.
