Traquemage #3

The third volume of Lupano and Relom's Traquemage arrives with a subtitle that says it all: Entre l'espoir et le fromage — "Between Hope and Cheese." Relom's cover playfully echoes Michelangelo's famous gesture, with an enormous hand reaching down toward a bewildered young traveler sprawled among a field of tiny flowers, the gap between the two figures charged with comic uncertainty. It's a perfectly pitched visual joke that captures the series' blend of medieval fantasy atmosphere and warm, absurdist humor.
