Krän #10

A brooding nocturnal alley sets the stage for this 2010 Vents d'Ouest fantasy adventure, with the muscular, bare-chested Krän looming at the center alongside a fierce female warrior and a stout, gruff companion — all three bathed in the eerie glow rising from a cauldron at their feet. Gargoyle-like figures peer down from the shadowy architecture above, lending the scene a wonderfully ominous atmosphere that writer Éric Herenguel and artist Pierre Loyvet have made the hallmark of this series. Subtitled Viva Lastrepasse, this tenth volume promises the dark humor and sword-and-sorcery grit that fans of the series will recognize immediately.
