Gli Integrali BD #40

Part two of the four-volume Italian omnibus collecting Rani arrives in this 2021 edition from Editoriale Aurea, subtitled Integrale 2/4. Francis Vallès's cover sets a striking tone — a dark-haired woman, lightly clad and adorned with delicate jewelry, sits framed within an ornate Moorish archway bathed in deep reds, her expression one of quiet, smoldering intensity. With Jean Van Hamme and Alcante co-writing the story "Schiava" (Slave), this volume promises the kind of taut, character-driven drama those familiar with Van Hamme's work have come to appreciate.
