Pre-owned, good condition, hard to find original French language hardcover graphic novel Carapaces Les Terres Creuses by Schuiten. We think this is volume one in the series. About this book from the Cultural Heritage blog: "It was at the start of his career, while still a student, that Francois Schuiten began to write the short stories that were later published in three albums. His brother Luc was there to help him. They imagined fantasy worlds, sometimes dreamlike, sometimes disturbing. These stories, brought together under the overall title of The Hollow Grounds, represented Francois?s first steps as an artist. Carapaces, brought together five stories about the mysterious odyssey of the fanelles, winged creatures capable of materializing from one world to another. Zara is one of the seven planets of the Hollow Grounds system: its particularity is the coexistence of several individual ecosystems, among which are a circular universe in perpetual rotation and a world of vertical structures where only women live. Olive manages to escape from her universe to go to another. In Nogegon, the second planet of the Hollow Grounds system, we meet up again with Olive who mysteriously disappears on this planet where gravity is very weak. Nelle, her accomplice, sets off to look for her."
