The Witcher #1

Set against a deep blue field of roses, this 2022 Bragelonne edition of The Witcher — "Un grain de vérité" — opens with a striking cover by Kai Carpenter that places the silver-haired Geralt in a tense, combat-ready stance, while a looming armored beast towers behind him in the shadows. The contrast between the brooding floral backdrop and these two powerful figures gives the image a haunting, fairytale-meets-dark-fantasy atmosphere that perfectly suits Andrzej Sapkowski's world. With Jonas Scharf on interior art and José Villarrubia's colors, this French-language volume is a handsome entry point into Geralt's monster-haunted journey.
