La Légende des nuées écarlates #2

The second chapter of Saverio Tenuta's La Légende des nuées écarlates arrives with a cover as haunting as its subtitle — "Comme feuilles au vent" — depicting a solitary figure in flowing white robes standing serenely amid a sea of pale, entangled bodies beneath a deep crimson sky, slender red spears rising around her like a ritual grove. Tenuta's artwork commands the entire composition with a striking contrast between that immaculate white silhouette and the blood-red atmosphere pressing in from every side. Published in 2008 by Les Humanoïdes Associés, this Franco-Belgian album brings a distinctive Japanese aesthetic sensibility to European comics in a way that feels genuinely singular.
