La jeunesse de Tex #2

Part of the French-language La Jeunesse de Tex series from Fordis, this second volume — Justice à Corpus Christi — catches a younger Tex Willer at the center of a blazing standoff, his sheriff's badge catching the light as he levels his revolver against a blood-red sunset. Flanking him are two armed allies, and a mounted horde looms menacingly on the horizon, painting a picture of stacked odds and frontier determination. With Boselli and Mastantuono bringing their considerable craft to the page, this 2019 album is a confident, handsomely illustrated portrait of a Western legend in the making.
