La Geste des Chevaliers Dragons #20

Tome 20 of La Geste des Chevaliers Dragons — subtitled Naissance d'un Empire — arrives from Soleil in 2015 with a cover by Looky that immediately commands attention: a battle-worn young warrior woman, clad in layered leather and spiked armor, fixes the viewer with a fierce, unwavering gaze while gripping a sword at her side. The warm, sepia-washed background and the bold triangular emblem on her chest give the image a mythic, weathered grandeur that fits perfectly within this long-running French fantasy series. With writer Ange steering the story and Looky's gritty linework brought to life by colorists Stéphane Paitreau and Eiko Takayama, this installment looks like a compelling chapter in the Dragon Knights' saga.
