Esteban #4

The fourth volume of Matthieu Bonhomme's Esteban series arrives in 2014 with a cover that crackles with urgency — a young figure in uniform rushes forward against a billowing backdrop of flame and smoke, while a guard tower and armed soldiers loom in the background, setting a tense, perilous atmosphere. The Dutch subtitle, Gevangen aan de andere kant van de wereld ("Prisoner on the other side of the world"), signals that our protagonist is far from home and in serious danger. Bonhomme's bold linework and the striking warm palette make this Dupuis release a visually gripping entry in this adventure series.
