Les cœurs de ferraille #2

The second volume of Munuera and Beka's Les Cœurs de Ferraille is subtitled "L'Inspiration," and this cover captures that theme beautifully: a young child sits absorbed in a book on a weathered harbor dock, surrounded by rope, a lantern, and a wooden barrel, while seagulls drift over a misty port in the background. Looming above in ghostly silhouette is a towering figure in a bowler hat and cape, its face replaced by a single glowing light — an enigmatic presence that feels at once protective and unsettling. Munuera's artwork, rendered in rich teals and warm golds by Dupuis, gives this 2023 album the feel of a storybook mystery with genuine emotional depth.
