Les misérables #2

This 2021 graphic novel adaptation brings Victor Hugo's enduring story to vivid life, with the cover depicting a weathered, broad-shouldered man sheltering a small girl in a pink dress — clearly Jean Valjean and young Cosette — as they stand together in a shadowy, cobblestoned Paris street, Notre-Dame looming in the misty background. A cluster of ragged figures lingers in the lower foreground, adding to the atmosphere of hardship and uncertainty that defines Hugo's world. The work of L'Hermenier, Looky, and Parada translates the emotional weight of this beloved story into beautifully composed sequential art.
