Anya #2

The second volume of *Anya* plunges headlong into a wintry fairytale world, with young Anya clinging to a speeding sled as a large wolf-like companion races through a snow-covered forest — bare thorny branches clawing at the path ahead and a mysterious cloaked figure looming in the background. The decorative border panels hint at a rich folklore atmosphere, populated by shadow wolves, an owl, and moonlit landscapes that frame the adventure beautifully. By Crisse and Fred Besson, published by Éditions de la Gouttière in 2024, *L'Antre de la sorcière* promises the kind of charming, atmospheric fantasy that makes European bande dessinée so rewarding.
