Les Buggels Noz #2

The second volume of J.-M. Michaud and Alan Simon's Les enfants de la nuit series, "La Guerre des Noz," arrives with a cover that plunges you straight into the heart of a nightmarish confrontation — a ferocious, spike-studded creature looms over a small, wide-eyed girl, while an enormous shadowy figure with grasping claws dominates the fiery red sky behind them. Published by Casterman in 2014, this French fantasy series clearly has no shortage of menace or imagination, balancing the vulnerability of its young protagonist against creatures of genuinely unsettling design.
