Hybrides #4

The fourth chapter of Séraphine's Hybrides series arrives with a cover that sets a lush, unsettling mood — a red-clad woman stands amid dense tropical foliage, dwarfed by towering industrial structures and what appears to be a hovering craft overhead, all rendered in deep blues and greens that give the scene an eerie, otherworldly atmosphere. The title Au Loin, Une Île… ("Far Away, an Island…") hints at isolation and discovery, perfectly complemented by that tension between organic nature and cold machinery on display. Published by Glénat in 1991, this volume is a compelling entry in a French science-fiction series that clearly had ambitions as bold as its visuals.
