La Horde du contrevent #1

Éric Henninot's adaptation of Alain Damasio's celebrated novel arrives in striking black-and-white artwork that immediately announces its ambitions. The cover sweeps you into a world of relentless wind, dominated by a heavily cloaked, broad-shouldered figure in a wide-brimmed hat bracing against turbulent gusts, while a second, lighter-clad warrior stands poised in the storm-raked distance — both figures rendered with bold, kinetic linework that makes the air itself feel like an adversary. Subtitled Le cosmos est mon campement ("The cosmos is my campground"), this 2017 French-language volume promises an epic journey into a world where the wind never stops.
