Unless they make a great effort to understand each other, war seems an inevitable consequence when two cultures meet. The first time a dragon met a knight, a misunderstanding hurled the world into war. A sudden act of kindness brought the world peace and prevented genocide. Yet it came at a terrible price.
The Dragons of Paris is about embracing change, even if it's scary. It's a beautiful, life-affirming story told with wit and charm. This story by a leading figure in European comics, and an Eisner Award-nominated Mexican artist, is worth a look. Perhaps more than one!

WRITTEN BY JOANN SFAR
ART/COVER BY TONY SANDOVAL
What
if dragons invaded Paris during the belle epoque? Writer Joann Sfar and
illustrator Tony Sandoval weave their imaginations into a canvas of
adventures, battles, sacrifices, love, and humor. A folkloric, playful,
and liberating journey, told in breathtaking, epic beauty.
Paris,
1900. For thousands of years, dragons have lived hidden from everyone,
sealed in statues and gargoyles throughout the city. Legend has it that
only the sacrifice of a being of great magic can protect Paris from
their wrath and maintain their slumber. But when a roguish Hawaiian
princess rescues a mermaid from suspicious danger, the malevolent shadow
of dragons grows once again over the City of Lights. From the catacombs
to the parvis of Notre-Dame, a romance is born under the awakening of a
thousand-year-old evil.
