Barracuda #3

The third volume of Jean Dufaux and Jérémy's acclaimed pirate series arrives with a cover that crackles with raw tension — a long-haired, silver-blond figure stands defiantly against a stormy sky, lightning splitting the darkness behind them, fists clenched and expression fierce. Subtitled "Duel," this 2012 Dargaud release promises exactly the kind of high-stakes confrontation that title suggests, rendered in Jérémy's brooding, atmospheric artwork. If you've been following this series, the dramatic intensity on display here makes it clear the story is heading somewhere unforgettable.
