Mimo #2

The second volume of Mimo's prehistoric adventures from Eidola Éditions brings a wonderfully lush world to life, with a small white dinosaur front and center amid a teeming crowd of creatures — swift bipedal runners, tortoises, a feathered theropod, and a pterosaur perched atop a great stone arch. Framed through that natural archway, a formidable spinosaurid rears up with jaws agape, hinting at wilder territories beyond. It's a richly layered, warmly illustrated tableau — the work of Mazan, Dethan, Allain, and Tournepiche — that captures the spirit of paleontological wonder beautifully suited to readers of all ages in 2015.
