Frnck #2

The second volume of Brice Cossu and Olivier Bocquet's time-travel adventure Frnck arrives with a cover that sets a wonderfully tense mood: a wide-eyed blond boy in a red jacket clutches a torch of fire under a moonlit jungle sky, flanked by a flame-haired girl and a looming, wild-haired figure emerging from the shadows behind them. Subtitled Le Baptême du Feu — "The Baptism of Fire" — this 2017 Dupuis release promises danger, prehistoric atmosphere, and plenty of heart for readers of all ages.
