Elfen #15

Elfen #15 brings the fifteenth chapter of this Belgian fantasy series with the subtitle "Zwart als bloed" ("Black as Blood"), and Augustin Popescu's cover sets a striking maritime scene: a pale, silver-haired elf warrior in battle-worn armor strides forward with curved blade in hand, while tall-masted sailing ships cut through a choppy sea behind her. The composition — framed by ornate golden borders and seabirds wheeling overhead — captures the blend of epic adventure and rich world-building that has made this series a standout in European fantasy comics. Written by Hadrien and Frank Vanzeer with colors by Olivier Héban, this 2018 installment looks every bit as atmospheric as the volumes before it.
