Dérives #2

The second volume of Delcourt's anthology series Dérives brings together a remarkable roster of creators — Andreas, Mazan, Dieter, Cornette, Hyuna, Raven, and Cochet — for another round of boundary-pushing comics storytelling. The cover sets a wonderfully strange tone, gathering an eccentric cast of characters: a snarling bear-like creature, a white-haired figure in a long coat, a woman in a bold red polka-dot dress, a small child in a red cape, a pale oval-headed figure, and a man in a cap, all swept along beneath a arc of vibrant color. Published in 2017, this is a generous showcase for some genuinely diverse artistic voices, each bringing their own vision to what promises to be a beautifully unpredictable collection.
