Jimmy Tousseul #8

The eighth volume in Desberg and Desorgher's adventure series brings Jimmy Tousseul face to face with something awe-inspiring and dangerous — the cover shows a young boy and a large wolf-like dog scrambling along the edge of a volcanic fissure, molten lava glowing a fierce orange between dark rocky walls, while two figures struggle dramatically on the ridge above against a sky lit by fire and smoke. Titled Le visage de Dieu ("The Face of God"), this 2005 Glénat release promises the kind of high-stakes, exotic adventure the series does so well. If you've been following Jimmy's globe-trotting exploits, this installment looks like one of his most elemental confrontations yet.
