Le dernier grand voyage d'Olivier Duveau #[nn]

Tali's whimsical French-language album from Eidola invites readers into a deep-blue, star-strewn sky where a lanky, wide-eyed man — presumably Olivier Duveau himself — is hoisted aloft by a fleet of black umbrellas, their strings fanning out in an almost dreamlike constellation. A mysterious vessel drifts in the distance above him, adding a quietly surreal edge to what already feels like an extraordinary departure. Published in 2016, Le Dernier Grand Voyage d'Olivier Duveau announces itself as the kind of lyrical, imaginative bande dessinée that lingers pleasantly in the mind long after you close the cover.
