Jhen #18

This 2020 Casterman entry in the long-running Jhen series brings "Le conquérant" to life with a cover by Paul Teng that places the series' familiar blond hero at the center of a tense medieval scene — flanked by a cloaked figure to his left and an armored soldier to his right, while green flames erupt dramatically above the battlements of a fortified city in the background. The atmosphere crackles with intrigue and conflict, perfectly capturing the historical adventure spirit the series is known for. With Valérie Mangin writing and Paul Teng handling both pencils and inks, this eighteenth volume looks like a compelling addition to any fan's shelf.
