Les Louves #[nn]

A striking image greets readers of this 2018 Dupuis/Aire Libre album: a group of young women and children pressing forward through a swirl of autumn leaves, their coats pulled close against the wind — while a Nazi swastika flag looms ominously in the upper corner. Flore Balthazar's cover work is quietly powerful, conveying both determination and vulnerability in the body language of her characters. Les Louves promises an emotionally resonant story set against the shadow of occupation, rendered with a delicate but purposeful graphic touch.
