About the series
In the mid-2000s, French publisher Xiao Pan released Butterfly in the Air, a four-issue miniseries that explores the fragile, fleeting nature of connection through a quiet, visually poetic lens. The series is best known for the delicate, atmospheric art of its creator, who uses soft linework and muted colors to tell a story of two strangers briefly crossing paths. A subtle, introspective work, it stands as a distinctive entry in Xiao Pan's catalog of thoughtful, creator-driven comics.
