Collection Fantôme #[24]

In "L'homme volant," Black Condor takes flight over the kingdom of Raj, drawn into a web of betrayal when Ali Kan, once a suitor, turns on his family and seizes power. With Andrée Kent in peril and her brother Denny dying, Black Condor confronts the traitor in a dramatic showdown that sees him captured, imprisoned, and ultimately unleashed in a breathtaking aerial battle against Ali Kan’s archers. The story, written by Will Eisner and illustrated with striking precision by Lou Fine—whose dynamic art defines the issue’s bold, expressive style—builds tension through daring escapes and aerial combat, culminating in a dramatic rescue and a decisive stand to defend the kingdom. The cover, also by Lou Fine, captures the moment of Black Condor’s flight, a striking image that echoes the issue’s themes of justice and flight.
