There is a long-running – it may have ended; I don’t know – series of graphic novels about the Louvre museum, officially licensed by that museum. Each one is separate, a different idea from a different creator or team. It started in 2005 with Nicolas De Crecy’s Glacial Period , and I’ve seen a few more, mostly years ago: The Museum Vaults, On the Odd Hours , The Sky Over the Louvre , (There’s what may be a comprehensive list of the series on Goodreads ; I note that half or more of them have never been translated into English.)
I have a weakness for bizarre publishing projects and quirky brand extensions, so I’m going to try to find all of the books in this series that have been published in English. I’ll go in order if I can, so the next one up was An Enchantment from 2011, by creator Christian Durieux.

“After being wrenched from his family and falsely convicted, a French soldier of fortune named Leon finds himself on a cargo plane to Japan. He and his fellow convicts are given one year to locate a powerful weapon from ages past-a weapon known only by the codename Toratsugumi-in exchange for their freedom. But what is the true nature of this weapon, and how is it connected to the taloned, half-human girl who swoops in to save Leon?” (Kodansha)

Moreover, its creator, Ippatu is a unique talent that draws inspiration from various sources. As outlined in the included interview in this release, Ippatu's first experience with manga was working as an assistant to a mangaka that tasked him with reading the work of Osamu Tezuka.

There’s a odd collection of graphic novels inspired by the Louvre museum, which has been running longer than I thought and has more books in it than I expected. Each bande dessinee is entirely separate; they’re all by different people with different plots, and seem to only have in common that they all involve the Louvre in some way.
There’s a list of the series on Goodreads; I don’t know if it’s comprehensive, but it’s fairly long, at least.
And I read a few of the early books years ago: The Sky Over the Louvre by Yslaire and Carriere in 2014, On the Odd Hours by Liberge in 2010, and The Museum Vaults by Matthieu in 2008. I don’t remember any of them well enough to compare.
Today, I just read Nicolas De Crecy’s Glacial Period , the very first book in the “series.” It was...

Salvatore Vol. 1: Transports of Love
By Nicolas De Crécy
Nbm, 104 pages, $14.99
The French artist Nicolas De Crécy has been working in the field for some two decades and has been slowing gaining a following in the United States. His 2005 series, Salvatore, is finally translated for American readers courtesy of Nbm and it is a most welcome volume. The book was released in 2005 as part of Expresso, Dupuis' new imprint of full-color albums and here we get the first two volumes collected.
Using a sparer style than in his other works, De Crécy introduces us to Salvatore, a bear who lives in remote Savoy, high atop a mountain. An acclaimed mechanic, he is selective as to who receives his services while he indulges in rich fondue and pines for Julie, the terrier who stole his heart before departing for South America. He pines for Julie and is building the ultimate...
