Die großen Seeschlachten #26

Volume 26 of Finix's acclaimed naval history series brings the Battle of Navarino to life, with Jean-Yves Delitte's cover depicting a towering, gun-bristling British ship-of-the-line flying the White Ensign as it surges through choppy grey seas — a striking evocation of 1827's decisive confrontation. Delitte, who also handles the interior art and inking alongside colorist Douchka Delitte and writer Saskia Funke, brings his characteristic maritime detail to every rope, sail, and cannon port. For anyone drawn to the age of sail and the grand sweep of naval warfare, this entry in Die großen Seeschlachten is a handsome addition to the shelf.
