Chroniques de la lune noire #19

Volume 19 of Chroniques de la Lune Noire — subtitled Une semaine ordinaire — brings Angleraud and Froideval's long-running dark fantasy saga to an unsettling new chapter. The cover presents a shrouded, vampiric figure swathed in billowing white robes and wielding a gleaming sword, surrounded by six crimson-clawed spiders that orbit it like a grotesque court, all set against a backdrop of towering dark columns. It's a beautifully composed image from Dargaud that captures the series' signature blend of dread and otherworldly grandeur, making this 2018 entry hard to resist for fans of European dark fantasy.
