Esteban #1

Matthieu Bonhomme launches this nautical adventure series with a cover that places young Esteban front and center — arms outstretched in the rigging of a tall sailing ship, the open sea churning around him while a crew of weathered sailors looks on from the deck below. "Le Baleinier" (The Whaler) promises a coming-of-age story steeped in the rough, salt-sprayed world of the high seas, and Bonhomme's clean, expressive linework gives the scene both energy and warmth. Published by Dupuis in 2005, this opening volume is a compelling invitation to set sail with a hero who looks equally at home in the ropes and at the heart of an adventure.
