La Guerre des Sambre - Werner & Charlotte #3

A blood-spattered stone madonna and child looms over this 2012 Futuropolis entry in Yslaire and Boidin's La Guerre des Sambre saga, setting a quietly unsettling tone against the warmly framed portrait of Werner and Charlotte below. The pairing of sacred imagery with the intimate double miniature — dated Hiver 1768 — hints at the collision of devotion, passion, and violence that runs through this sweeping 18th-century story. Boidin's artwork brings real elegance to the cover design, making this third Werner & Charlotte volume a compelling addition to one of French-language comics' most atmospheric historical series.
