L'Homme de l'année #10

A lone figure stands on a cracked, scorched dock as a city blazes across the water behind him — boats scattering in the chaos — and the tagline promises this is the story of the man behind the Great Fire of London. This 2015 Delcourt entry in the L'Homme de l'Année series plants the year 1666 at its center, delivering the kind of sweeping historical drama the series does so well. The brooding, ember-lit cover art by the creative team of Duval, Moustey, Subic, and Scarlett sets a genuinely haunting tone for what lies within.
