Cosmobacchus #1

A looming demonic figure — all crimson horns and vast wings — dominates the sky above a rural landscape of vineyards and rolling mountains in this striking French album from Eidola Éditions. A lone car winds along a road below, dwarfed by the supernatural presence overhead, while jagged lightning-like tendrils crack across the scene in a gorgeous collision of the earthly and the infernal. Cosmobacchus #1 sets a wonderfully unsettling tone from the very first glance, blending pastoral wine country imagery with something far more ancient and dangerous.
