La Renarde #1

From the creative team of Marine Blandin and Sébastien Chrisostome comes this charming Franco-Belgian album, La Renarde, published by Casterman in 2015. The cover introduces a wonderfully odd cast of characters parading across an autumnal woodland setting — at the center strides a bold, grinning fox figure rendered in warm red, surrounded by a delightfully eccentric ensemble of creatures and critters in muted, earthy tones. The playful, loose-lined art style from Professeur Cyclope instantly signals something offbeat and full of personality, making this a thoroughly inviting pick for fans of quirky, imaginative French comics.
