Collection Vedette #42

André Beautemps brings his adventure series to vivid life in this 1976 Le Lombard entry, as the cover places Michael Logan amid lush jungle foliage — a wild-haired figure looming large in the foreground while a second man strides purposefully toward a propeller aircraft in the background. The contrast between dense tropical greenery and that waiting plane sets a wonderfully tense mood of exotic destinations and uncertain journeys. Le pays sous l'horizon promises the kind of globe-trotting intrigue that made the Collection Vedette line such a reliable home for Franco-Belgian adventure comics.
