La Légende Dorée #2

The second volume of La Légende Dorée — subtitled La Chevauchée des Coquadrilles — plunges straight into fantasy mayhem, with a fierce dark-haired warrior woman and a group of companions, including robed figures and small creature-like beings, fleeing headlong across a fiery red landscape. Looming ominously above them all is a massive, snarling demonic figure clutching a trident, bathed in a hellish golden glow that dominates the entire composition. Joblin and Le Discot deliver a cover brimming with kinetic energy and vivid character work that makes this 2009 Vents d'Ouest release a very tempting pick for fans of action-packed European fantasy comics.
