L'Homme de l'année #15

A lone cloaked figure walks a desolate path toward a mist-shrouded medieval castle, stepping past a bleached skeleton half-buried in the earth — an opening image that sets an unmistakably dark, foreboding tone. This 2019 Delcourt entry in the L'Homme de l'année series brings together Pécau, Farkas, and Fernandez to explore 1440 and the man the subtitle calls "L'homme qui arrêta Barbe Bleue" — the man who stopped Bluebeard. The atmosphere of dread and gothic grandeur makes this one of the most visually compelling installments in the series.
