Ar-Men #[nn]

A lone lighthouse — the real-life Ar-Men off the Île de Sein — rises defiantly from churning, storm-ravaged seas on Emmanuel Lepage's breathtaking cover, the muted ochres and greys capturing the raw, elemental fury that earned the beacon its nickname L'Enfer des enfers ("The Hell of Hells"). Lepage brings his painterly mastery to this Futuropolis release, and the cover alone — all crashing waves, murky moonlight, and that solitary tower clinging to existence — makes a powerful promise about the story within. A compelling 2017 graphic work for anyone drawn to tales of endurance, isolation, and the sea.
