Jimmy Tousseul #7

The seventh volume in Deberg and Desorgher's globetrotting series brings Jimmy Tousseul to what appears to be a murky, mangrove-lined waterway, where a speedboat carrying several figures — including a menacing character in a striking animal mask — tears through the shadows. On the riverbank, a crouching lion squares off against this approaching threat, lending the cover an immediate sense of wild tension. Le Masque de l'Esclave promises adventure steeped in atmosphere, and Glénat's 2005 edition delivers a vivid, humid tableau that pulls you straight into the action.
