Rivage #3

The third volume of Haruko Kashiwagi's Rivage, published by Éditions Delcourt in 2006, closes in on a bare-shouldered young man with dark hair and a shadow of stubble, his gaze distant as a golden coastal sunset stretches behind him. The warm, glowing palette and the quietly intense expression on his face give this cover a contemplative, almost melancholy atmosphere that feels perfectly suited to a survival story set against the sea.
