Bologne - conte en 3 actes symphoniques #[nn]

Pascal Blanchet's striking cover sets the tone for this 2007 graphic album from Les Éditions de la Pastèque — a boldly stylized figure in a white coat strikes a dramatic pose against a vivid red background, brandishing what appears to be a white flag or baton with theatrical flair. The graphic design sensibility is unmistakable: bold black lines, a limited palette, and an almost mid-century poster aesthetic that perfectly suits a story promising to unfold as a "tale in three symphonic acts." Blanchet's complete creative command — handling art, inking, and lettering himself — gives this French-language work a cohesive, elegantly distinctive voice from cover to final page.
