Sambre #8

Yslaire's long-running series reaches its eighth chapter with "Celle que mes yeux ne voient pas..." — a title that translates to "She whom my eyes cannot see," perfectly mirrored in this haunting 2018 cover. A young photographer in period dress aims his bellows camera toward a masked woman in a scarlet corset, her reflection caught within an oval frame as if she exists only as image, never quite present in the flesh. The rich crimson palette and Gothic-romantic tension Yslaire brings to both story and art make this a deeply atmospheric entry in one of French-language comics' most emotionally ambitious sagas.
