Les enfants perchés de la Révolution #2

The second volume of Les Enfants perchés de la Révolution arrives from Casterman with a cover that perfectly captures its spirit of precarious adventure: a young boy in period clothing clings dramatically to the ropes of a rising hot-air balloon, while a group of children scramble and reach upward from crumbling ruins below. Set against a warm, golden sky, the scene pulses with urgency and the particular kind of courage that only the young seem to possess. If the subtitle L'Envol — "The Flight" — promises escape and upheaval in equal measure, this striking 2024 cover makes that promise feel thrillingly believable.
