Océane et la Fée des Houles #1

Rendered in a dreamy wash of blues, the cover of this 2018 Guymic Éditions album introduces Océane et la Fée des Houles with quiet wonder — a large, gentle face gazes down at a tiny winged fairy resting in an outstretched palm, her flowing hair swirling like sea currents. The monochromatic palette gives the whole scene an ethereal, underwater quality perfectly suited to a story entwining the ocean and the supernatural. For fans of atmospheric, fairy-tale-inflected Franco-Belgian comics, this first volume subtitled La Petite Fée promises something genuinely enchanting.
