Claymore #8

Norihiro Yagi's dark fantasy series reaches its eighth volume with a cover that pulls you straight into the tension — a silver-eyed warrior in gleaming armor lies prone on stone ground, her massive claymore at her side, while a monstrous clawed hand looms ominously in the foreground. The subtitle L'Antre de la Sorcière ("The Witch's Lair") sets a foreboding tone that matches the cover's stark, unsettling composition perfectly. This 2008 Glénat édition française entry is a compelling addition to one of manga's most atmospheric action series.
