About the series
In Salvatore, a four-issue series published by Dupuis between 2005 and 2010, writer and artist Nicolas de Crécy crafts a whimsical, melancholy tale of an aging, forgotten inventor living in a fantastical version of 1950s Paris. The story follows Salvatore as he builds a whimsical flying machine to win back his estranged wife, navigating a city populated by surreal creatures and eccentric characters. De Crécy’s lush, painterly watercolors and dreamlike narrative make this a quietly acclaimed work, notable for its blend of retro-futurism, bittersweet romance, and lyrical visual storytelling.
