La jeunesse de Staline #2

The second volume of La Jeunesse de Staline, subtitled "Koba," presents a striking portrait of a young Stalin rendered in brooding close-up, his steady gaze set against a blazing, chaotic backdrop of revolutionary crowds and fire-lit buildings. Creators Delalande, Prolongeau, and Liberge bring a vivid, cinematic intensity to this French bande dessinée series, using a smoldering red palette that feels both historically charged and visually arresting. Published by Les Arènes BD in 2017, this is a compelling chapter in a series that dares to examine one of history's most consequential figures during his formative years.
