Corsu #5

A striking cover sets the mood for this 2007 DCL éditions entry in the Corsu series — a sharp-featured woman in a wide-brimmed black hat stands confidently before what appears to be a tall ship flying a skull-and-crossbones flag, while an oversized hand gestures in the foreground. The interplay of the warm amber sky, the looming wooden vessel, and that cool, watchful figure gives the whole scene an air of intrigue and seafaring adventure. Fans of atmospheric European comics with a Mediterranean edge will find plenty to draw them in here.
