Cassio #3

Beneath a crescent moon and star-scattered desert sky, two towering ancient columns etched with hieroglyphics rise from the dunes — and a solitary masked figure, draped in dark robes and holding a blade, stands at the base of the larger one, small against the immensity of the ruins. Stephen Desberg and Henri Reculé craft an atmosphere of quiet menace and mystery in this third volume, subtitled De derde wond ("The Third Wound"), where the mood feels as old and weathered as the inscribed stone itself. Published by Le Lombard in 2010, it's a beautifully composed cover that draws you into a world where ancient secrets and present danger feel inseparable.
