Héraclès #1

Part of Luc Ferry's La Sagesse des Mythes series from Glénat, this first volume — La Jeunesse du Héros — opens the story of Héraclès with a cover that immediately earns your attention: a powerfully built, bare-chested hero grapples bare-handed with a snarling lion, the two locked in a fierce, almost sculptural struggle against a luminous, cave-lit background. Writer Clotilde Bruneau and artist Annabel bring a painterly, mythic gravitas to the scene that feels more Renaissance fresco than standard comics fare. A compelling entry point into one of mythology's greatest figures, rendered with real craft and ambition in 2017.
