Kamarades #1

A brooding, mustachioed figure looms large over a wintry cityscape — the silhouettes of Russian onion-domed spires rising behind him — while a crowd of soldiers or revolutionaries surges below, one scarlet cloak catching the eye against the grey. Kamarades: La Fin des Romanov is a French graphic novel from Rue de Sèvres that plunges readers into the turbulent end of imperial Russia, rendered in a striking, cold-toned palette by Abtey, Ousséaux, and Goust. History rarely looks this atmospheric on a single page.
