Blexbolex: The Magicians

A stunning, action-packed epic from award-winning visionary Blexbolex that takes a deep dive into magic and the drive to rid the world of it!

In the corner of a house that seems to have fallen asleep, something is bubbling up and protesting. Suddenly, out from their hiding spots burst three magicians—who promptly leave the house to make their way in the world, each wielding their magic as they find their way. But a fearsome huntress and her faithful companion are hot on their trail... and she won't rest until she has vanquished them all.

Taking inspiration from video games, science fiction, fantasy, and fairy tales, this graphic novel plunges readers into an open world that is both fantastic and yet very real, marked by randomness and pattern, as ours is. Here, the forces of control and magic engage, facing off to see which force will prove the most stalwart, clever, and enduring. This is French illustrator and comics artist Blexbolex's fifth book with Enchanted Lion, following Seasons, People, Ballad, and Vacation (with both Seasons and Ballad selected as New York Times Best Illustrated Children’s Books). And like his other books, this is one that will just as fiercely and truly liberate magic and the gorgeous materiality of our senses and their intuitions into the world!
