Die Bande #1

A young figure dressed in flowing blue robes sits contemplatively within a warm, cave-like setting of amber and rust-colored stone, while a torch burns nearby — an atmosphere that immediately hints at mystery and intrigue. This is the opening volume of Die Bande, subtitled "Seigneur Vier," brought to life by the creative team of Gemini and Jytéry, whose richly atmospheric cover art sets a quietly compelling tone. Published by Splitter in 1999, it's a fine entry point into what promises to be an engrossing European comics series.
