Majnun and Layla

"Through a vibrant visual tapestry, French cartoonist and Angouleme's Prix Orange debut comics winner Damezin reimagines a centuries-old Persian love poem." * Starred Publishers Weekly Review *
Yann Damezin gives beautiful colors to this poetic story but above all gives it a modernity, already approached by the poet Nezami (12th century), by giving the female character as much space as the male! -- Benoit Gaboriaud (translated) * L'essentiART *
...a brilliantly accomplished exercise in style,
a hymn to tender, beautiful, subtle and luminous love. -- Jean-Charles Andrieu de Levis (translated) * ActuaLitte *
...an undeniable success, both graphically and literary: all the pages of [Majnun and Layla: Songs from Beyond the Grave] seduce by their graphic inventiveness. -- Nicholas Michael (translated) * Jeune Afrique *
With [Majnun and Layla: Songs from Beyond the Grave], whose very rich graphic work competes with a text of rare quality, Damezin offers an opus as surprising as it is exceptional in the field of contemporary comics. -- Lea Polverini (translated) * Middle East Eye edition francaise *
