Audubon on the Wings of the World

In this lush, single-issue graphic biography from Nobrow, writer Fabien Grolleau and artist Jérémie Royer follow the young John James Audubon as he abandons French comfort for the wilds of early America. Royer’s sweeping, painterly landscapes and Grolleau’s poetic narrative capture the obsessive, perilous pursuit of nature that would define Audubon’s legendary bird illustrations. A quietly immersive work that transforms a classic naturalist’s journey into a visual adventure, it stands as a distinctive, artist-driven entry in the publisher’s celebrated line of illustrated nonfiction.
