Elfen #15

A fierce white-skinned elf warrior dominates the cover of this fifteenth chapter in the Elfen series, clad in ornate armor and fur-trimmed gear, twin blades at the ready as Viking longships cut through the waves behind her — a tableau that perfectly sets the stage for "Zwart als bloed" (Black as Blood). Augustin Popescu's cover art blends intricate Celtic-style ornamentation with sweeping maritime drama, giving the 2018 Dutch-language release a striking visual identity. With writing by Marc Hadrien and colors by Olivier Héban, this is a handsome addition to one of European fantasy comics' most visually ambitious series.
