Arthur, le fantôme justicier #4

A dust-kicking chase scene sets the tone for this 2004 Toth/Archives Vaillant collection, as Arthur — the little ghost justicier himself — haunts a speeding horse-drawn cart occupied by a helmeted Viking-type figure and a burly, bearded ruffian, while birds scatter into the sky overhead. Jean Cézard's lively linework (cover pencils and inks both his own) captures the anarchic energy that made Arthur such a charming fixture of French comics. The subtitle promises a showdown with the elusive "Prince Noir," and if this cover is any indication, the pursuit will be anything but dull.
