L'Indienne blanche #[nn]

Three richly rendered figures dominate Serpieri's cover for this Mosquito album: a brooding dark-haired young man looms large in the foreground left, a weathered frontiersman sits rifle in hand at center, and a feather-adorned Native American elder watches from the upper right — with a distant cavalry charge sketched in warm sepia tones behind them. L'Indienne blanche carries all the sweeping tension of the American frontier that Serpieri handles with such assured, painterly craft. A handsome 2019 edition from Mosquito that belongs on any shelf devoted to serious Western comics storytelling.
