L'Or du Rhin #1

A brooding figure in the foreground grips a gleaming sword, a lute slung across their back, while deep in the arched stone tunnels behind them a torchlit silhouette poles a raft across dark waters — an atmospheric opening to L'Or du Rhin. The subtitle L'Homme au Masque de Cuir promises intrigue and hidden identities lurking beneath medieval vaults, and the warm amber glow against cold stonework sets a mood that's equal parts adventure and mystery. Vincent Wagner and Roger Seiter launch this 2014 series from Editions du Long Bec with a cover that makes the underground world of the Rhine feel genuinely alive.
