L'Héritage d'Émilie #5

The fifth volume of Magnin's L'Héritage d'Émilie arrives with a cover steeped in mystery and theatrical atmosphere. A richly dressed, masked woman sits enthroned on a crescent-moon seat, surrounded by tarot cards, a raven, a small girl, a green orb, hummingbirds, and masked figures peering from the shadows — all framed by dramatic red curtains and a starlit backdrop. Subtitled L'Arcane, this 2008 Dargaud release promises a story where secrets, symbolism, and something wonderfully strange are very much at the heart of things.
