India Dreams #10

The tenth volume of Maryse and J.-F. Charles's atmospheric Franco-Belgian series arrives with a cover that perfectly captures its evocative colonial-era mood — a solitary woman in a pale dress and blue hat sits at a candlelit camp table beneath a vast, rose-tinted sky, while shadowy figures and a tent linger in the dusky background. J.-F. Charles's painterly artwork renders the scene with a quiet, melancholy beauty that has made India Dreams one of the most visually distinctive European series of its era. Le Joyau de la Couronne promises another richly atmospheric chapter in this long-running saga steeped in the romance and tensions of the Indian subcontinent.
