Henriette #4

Three children lean in with wide, nervous eyes around a glowing crystal ball — and peering back from within it, bathed in eerie green light with unsettling red eyes, is Henriette herself. Dupuy and Berberian's cheeky series takes a wonderfully spooky turn with this 2003 Dupuis volume, subtitled Esprit, es-tu là ? ("Are you there, spirit?"). It's a delightfully creepy cover that perfectly captures the series' knack for finding the uncanny in everyday childhood moments.
