La jeunesse de Tex #4

From Recchioni and Andreucci, this French-language volume from Fordis brings another chapter of young Tex to life with real visual flair. The cover presents a steely-eyed Tex — rifle in hand, dressed in vest and kerchief — standing alongside a striking dark-haired woman in a bold red dress who carries a rifle of her own, a posse of riders charging dramatically through the dusty background behind them. Titled Un Homme Tranquille ("A Quiet Man"), this 2021 Colorado/Fordis edition pairs its two leads with an undercurrent of tension that suggests quiet rarely lasts long in Tex's world.
