Crusades #1

Set against a smoldering hellish backdrop, this opening volume of Crusades — Le Spectre aux yeux d'argent — immediately announces its dark ambitions: a grim, shaven-headed warrior clutches a sword in the foreground while a massive, skull-faced demonic entity looms behind him, tendrils curling through an infernal orange haze. The contrast between the lone human fighter and the towering supernatural threat gives the cover an atmosphere that feels both medieval and mythic. From the creative team of Izu, Nikolavitch, and Zhang Xiaoyu, published by Les Humanoïdes Associés in 2010, this is a compelling entry point into what promises to be a brooding, otherworldly saga.
