Les Carnavaleux #2

The cover of this 2015 Bamboo Édition release is an absolute feast for the eyes — a densely packed, gloriously chaotic crowd of costumed carnival revelers fills every corner, their exaggerated expressions and colorful disguises radiating the infectious joy of Dunkirk's famous carnival. Subtitled Fiers d'être Dunkerquois ("Proud to be from Dunkirk"), the book wears its regional pride on its sleeve, celebrating the beloved tradition with warmth and unmistakable humor. Richter and Bloz's art rewards a second and third look, with dozens of wildly individual characters jostling for your attention in this cheerful tribute to one of France's most spirited carnivals.
