Royal Aubrac #1

From Christophe Bec and Nicolas Suro comes this atmospheric French graphic novel published by Vents d'Ouest, its cover immediately drawing you into a hushed, snow-blanketed world. A lone figure in a deep red coat stands with her back to us, bag in hand, gazing toward a grand isolated hotel that rises eerily from the white landscape. The contrast between that single splash of warm color and the vast, spare winter scenery sets a quietly compelling mood that promises mystery and solitude in equal measure.
