Chroniques de la lune noire #16

The sixteenth volume of Chroniques de la Lune Noire — "Terra Secunda, Livre 2/2" — brings this long-running dark fantasy saga to the second half of its Terra Secunda arc, published by Dargaud in 2014. The cover, by Angleraud and Froideval, commands immediate attention: a colossal, intricately scaled serpentine dragon rears up at the center of a grand ceremonial hall, its cobra-like hood spread wide and a smaller serpent coiling at its base, while rows of armored figures line the ornate colonnaded chamber in the background. It's a visually sumptuous image — rich in architectural detail and reptilian menace — that perfectly captures the epic, mythologically charged atmosphere the series is known for.
