Love story à l'iranienne #[nn]

A couple embraces tenderly at the center of this striking cover, their quiet intimacy set against a brooding backdrop of looming, partially obscured figures rendered in deep reds and shadows — a visual tension that speaks volumes about love persisting under watchful eyes. Published by Delcourt under their Mirages imprint, this 2016 work by Jane Deuxard and Deloupy brings a human and heartfelt lens to life in Iran. The cover's restrained palette and emotional composition make it an immediately compelling addition to any shelf of thoughtful international graphic storytelling.
