Blake et Mortimer #19

La Malédiction des Trente Deniers brings a gripping sense of peril to this entry in the long-running Blake and Mortimer series, with the cover showing a red-haired figure face-down in churning waves, one desperate hand breaking the surface beside the hull of a large red vessel — an image that radiates urgency without saying a word. The small vignette in the upper corner reassuringly features the familiar trio of characters fans know and love. Created by Jean Van Hamme, René Sterne, and Chantal De... (partially visible), this 2009 Glénat/Blake et Mortimer album promises the adventure and intrigue the series has always delivered.
