00:00The lanterns light themselves

Nothing here is paid for with money. You pay with what you’ve lived.

One night a year, a market appears in a town no map will show you. People sell their fear of the dark, buy back the summer they turned eight, or a first love, “barely used.”

Thirty years ago, Élias Varenne, a watchmaker, sold the face of Lise, the woman he loved. Ever since, the portrait he keeps in his pocket watch has been blank. Tonight, he has come back for it. But to take back a memory, you must give another of equal worth.

…and the portrait is blank.

Everyone keeps something in a bottle.

What people ask before dawn.

What’s in the download?

A 33 MB ZIP file with three A4 PDFs: a welcome note with printing tips, the 18-page comic (including 12 pages to color) and 4 bonus pages. Your printable coloring book, to print as often as you like.

What should I color the pages with?

Colored pencils, fine markers or a brush: the lines are clean, the shapes are closed, and there are no solid black areas. For watercolor or alcohol markers, print on thicker paper (160 gsm or more).
