La Geste des Chevaliers Dragons #6

The sixth volume of La Geste des Chevaliers Dragons carries the subtitle Par-Delà les Montagnes — "Beyond the Mountains" — and Laurent Sieurac's cover sets the mood beautifully: a red-haired armored warrior leans over a kneeling companion in Eastern-styled robes, sword in hand, against a misty, mountainous backdrop rendered in cool, atmospheric tones by colorist Stéphane Paitreau. The contrast between the two figures — one battle-ready, one contemplative — hints at an unlikely partnership forged far from familiar lands. Written by Ange and brought to life by Sieurac's assured linework, this 2007 Soleil edition is a compelling entry in one of Franco-Belgian fantasy's more adventurous ongoing series.
