Les 3 fruits #[nn]

A haunting, dreamlike dragon skeleton dominates the cover of this Dargaud album, its vast wings spread across a deep aquamarine sky while a small dark animal — perhaps a bull or a dog — stands silhouetted on shadowy ground far below. The contrast between that immense, delicate bone-work creature and the tiny figure beneath it creates an immediate sense of mystery and scale. Oriol and Zidrou bring a genuinely atmospheric vision to Les 3 Fruits, making this 2015 release one that invites you in with quiet unease rather than a shout.
