Alain Cardan - Intégrale #3

This third omnibus collecting the adventures of Alain Cardan — the blue-helmeted space pilot whose portrait appears in the corner badge — arrives from Éditions Hibou as a handsome hardcover bringing together the work of Forton and Delporte. The cover sets the mood perfectly: a sleek rocket streaks away from a darkened planet while a massive solar flare erupts behind it, filling the starfield with roiling orange fire. It's a striking image that captures the high-stakes, outer-space spirit these stories are known for, and a fine invitation to dive into this 2023 collection.
