L'Épervier #7

The seventh volume of Patrice Pellerin's beloved Age of Sail series finds its brooding protagonist center stage in "La Mission" — a determined young man in a long grey coat stands at a harbor's edge, a magnificent tall ship riding the water behind him while two elegantly dressed women in red and rose look on from the background. Pellerin's beautifully rendered cover captures that irresistible tension between duty at sea and life ashore, with period costume and architecture drawn in his characteristically precise, luminous style. A thoroughly satisfying installment for anyone who loves seafaring adventure told with real artistry.
