La Banque #4

The fourth volume of La Banque spans one of France's most turbulent decades, framing the years 1857–1871 through the lens of its "Deuxième Génération." Malo Kerfriden's cover sets the tone masterfully: a elegantly dressed woman in blue clutches a companion amid a chaotic street barricade, while armed soldiers bearing red flags loom over a heap of overturned carts and barrels — the ironwork of a "Ferronnerie" shop visible just behind them. Written by Pierre Boisserie and Philippe Guillaume, this saga of finance and family clearly isn't afraid to place its characters at the heart of France's most defining historical upheavals.
