The Dragons of Paris HC Spotlight

 

 

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!

THE DRAGONS OF PARIS HC

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.
