L'aviateur #3

A vast desert landscape sets the stage for this third volume of L'aviateur, subtitled Les courriers du désert, published by Dargaud in 2018. Chrys Millien's cover places a determined aviator — pistol in hand, scarf at his neck — striding across the sand dunes, while a robed figure approaches in the background and a biplane sits grounded behind them both. With writing by Jean-Charles Kraehn and art by Millien, this Franco-Belgian series continues to evoke the rugged romance of early aviation in some of the world's most unforgiving terrain.
