Joann Sfar and Tony Sandoval join forces for the first time in The Dragons of Paris. The story takes place in Paris in 1900. Dragons have slept for centuries. They hide inside statues and gargoyles across the city. Legend says only the sacrifice of a powerful magical being keeps them asleep. That balance breaks when a bold Hawaiian princess rescues a mermaid from danger. Her act awakens an old threat. A dark force spreads again over the City of Lights. From the catacombs to Notre Dame’s front square, romance grows as ancient evil stirs.
A Duo Built for Fantasy
“This beautiful graphic novel is an amazing vehicle for Sfar and Sandoval’s talents,” says Magnetic Press Founder and Publisher Mike Kennedy. “They weave their imaginations into a canvas of adventures, battles, sacrifices, love, and humor that’s as touching as it is exhilarating.”
Sfar is best known for co creating the fantasy parody Dungeon. He is a major figure in the new wave of Franco Belgian comics. Sandoval brings a surreal and atmospheric style. His work has earned him fans in Mexico, Europe, and around the world. Together, they create a vivid 104 page hardcover that blends folklore, fantasy, and romance in a striking Parisian tale.
The graphic novel arrives December 2 from Magnetic Press.
