Basil et Victoria #1

A moody, atmospheric cover sets the tone for this 1990 French-language album from Les Humanoïdes Associés, where a mysterious cloaked figure in a wide-brimmed hat looms over a dimly lit urban scene alongside a small child holding a lantern. Yann and Edith craft a visual world that feels equal parts Victorian intrigue and quiet wonder, with deep shadows and warm lamplight pulling you straight into the story. *Sati: Basil et Victoria* announces itself as a compelling addition to the bande dessinée tradition right from this striking first volume.
