Jhen #9

The deck of a tall ship becomes a scene of desperate struggle in this 2000 Casterman album, as Jhen and a cluster of rough sailors grapple and scramble amid rigging and ropes, with billowing smoke and flames erupting along the distant cliffs — all under the watchful eye of a figure on the upper deck adorned with fleur-de-lis heraldry. Titled L'Archange, this ninth volume of the beloved Franco-Belgian series by J. Martin and J. Pleyers promises the kind of meticulously researched historical adventure that has made Jhen a standout in the Casterman catalogue.
