Théâtre d'Ombres #[nn]

A striking 1987 French album from Les Humanoïdes Associés, Théâtre d'Ombres brings together the talents of Baudoin and Frank in a work whose very cover arrests the eye. A weathered figure in white leans pensively near a docked ship, while beside him a billowing white sheet reveals the dramatic silhouette of an embracing couple — shadow-play that gives the book its evocative title. It's a quietly cinematic image that promises something atmospheric and deeply human within.
