Death Mountains #1

A woman strides forward with quiet determination across a vast, forbidding mountain landscape — a covered wagon and horses behind her, shadowy figures scattered in the distance — as Daniel Brecht's cover art sets a mood of both resilience and dread. Published by Casterman in 2013, Death Mountains: Mary Graves promises a frontier saga where the wilderness itself feels like an adversary. With Brecht handling art, inks, and color, the muted, dusty palette gives this opening volume an atmospheric weight that feels earned from the very first glance.
