Baltzar - La guerre dans le sang #11

Volume 11 of Nakajima Michitsune's *Baltzar: La guerre dans le sang* puts its roguish antagonist Rudolf von Hohenbach front and center — eye-patched, long auburn hair whipping in the wind, striding forward with unsettling confidence against a backdrop of crumbling, war-ravaged buildings and scattered papers. The composition has a theatrical swagger to it, white military coat and dark gloves giving Rudolf an air that sits somewhere between dandy and predator. If you've been following this gripping 19th-century military manga, this 2021 volume promises that the political intrigue and battlefield tension are anything but cooling down.
