Trappeurs de rien #5

The fifth volume of Thomas Priou, Pog, and Lerolle's charming series sends the gang deep underground for La Mine des Anciens — and the cover sets a wonderfully tense mood, with a bird character holding up a glowing lantern while a nervous dog companion watches from behind, scattered bones on the mine-cart track, and a bat lurking in the shadowy tunnel above. A third friend peers out from a mine cart in the background, adding a touch of comic relief to the eerie atmosphere. Published in 2019 by Éditions de la Gouttière, this is the kind of all-ages adventure that balances spooky with playful in just the right measure.
