Die Asche der Katharer #8

The eighth chapter of Die Asche der Katharer brings "Frühjahr der Mörder" — "Spring of the Murderers" — a title that carries an unmistakable chill despite the season it names. Philippe Jarbinet's cover renders a weathered, armored figure standing exhausted amid a stark alpine snowscape, while a rider on horseback moves through the icy distance behind him, hinting at pursuit or fate closing in. Jarbinet's painterly linework gives the whole scene a brooding, historical weight that makes this 2003 Arboris release a compelling entry in the series.
