The Quest of Ewilan, originally published by Glénat in France, is a graphic novel adaptation of Pierre Bottero’s trilogy, which began in 2013, shortly after Bottero’s death in 2009. It concluded in 2019, with one volume released annually. Its success paved the way for adaptations of The Worlds of Ewilan, Ellana, and The Other, even if The Worlds and The Other were stopped due to a lack of success. In English, the series The Quest of Ewilan began in 2018 with Euro Comics and IDW publishing, and stopped in 2019, with only two books translated.
The adaptation is by Lylian and Laurence Baldetti, with Nicolas Vial providing the colors, while Edward Gauvin did the English translation.

Resume and covers
13-year-old Camille’s life is forever changed when, trying to avoid an oncoming truck, she falls through a portal to a parallel world called Gwendalavir. There, she’s immediately threatened by creatures called Ts’liches, who claim that they’ve been searching for her so they can kill her! Luckily she’s zapped back home, but her best friend Salim is skeptical of her story…until giant spiders attack them from the other side. Soon she discovers the secret of her past: she was born on Gwendalavir, the daughter of two powerful magicians who sent her to our world for her protection. Camille has inherited a tremendous gift–magic drawing, the ability to manifest things by envisioning them in her mind. As the battle for two worlds intensifies, she hones the skills that might be a decisive weapon in the struggle of her people to regain power and restore freedom and dignity to Gwendalavir.
