D'Artagnan ! #1

A swashbuckling adventure awaits in this opening volume from Vents d'Ouest, as the young D'Artagnan rides hard on horseback across a sweeping green landscape, a grand domed cityscape — evoking the Ottoman world of the Sublime Porte — shimmering in the distance behind him. The cover, rendered with lush, painterly energy by E. Adam and H. Micol, immediately signals a tale that stretches well beyond the familiar streets of Paris into far more exotic territory. For fans of historical adventure comics, this 2008 series opener promises a bold, globe-spanning reimagining of one of literature's most beloved heroes.
