La cour des Miracles #1

Set in a gritty medieval world, this French album from Soleil plunges readers into the teeming underworld of "La Cour des Miracles" — the infamous Court of Miracles. The cover by Stéphane Piatzszek and Julien Maffre assembles a ragged, defiant cast of beggars and outcasts crowded around a weathered central figure clutching a mallet, a skeletal horse looming eerily above him against a backdrop of crumbling half-timbered streets. It's a vivid, atmospheric introduction to Livre Premier: Anácréon, Roi des Gueux — a 2018 series opener that promises political intrigue and survival among society's forgotten.
