Enlevé ! #[nn]

Based on Robert Louis Stevenson's adventure novel, this French-language adaptation brings together Hugo Pratt and Mino Milani for a vivid graphic retelling of Kidnapped. The cover crackles with energy as two figures — one in a green coat, the other in rougher highland dress — grapple dramatically, flintlock pistols raised in a fierce, swirling struggle rendered in Pratt's unmistakable loose, expressive linework. Published by L'école des loisirs in 2014, it's a handsome meeting of classic literature and bold comics artistry that adventure fans will find hard to resist.
