Samber #7

Yslaire's Samber reaches its seventh volume with "Straatmadeliefje," and the cover alone makes a compelling case for the series' haunting visual power. A young woman in an elaborate Victorian dress gazes out with large, melancholy eyes, a butterfly alighting near her hand while a shadowy skull looms in the background — all rendered in a striking monochromatic red palette that feels both romantic and foreboding. Published by Glénat in 2016, this Belgian series continues to showcase Yslaire's singular ability to blend gothic atmosphere with delicate, emotionally charged linework.
