La Rose écarlate #2

Patricia Lyfoung's La Rose écarlate continues with this second volume from Delcourt, subtitled Je veux que tu m'aimes ! The cover showcases the masked, dark-cloaked heroine mid-action — sword raised triumphantly against a luminous full moon — her flowing auburn hair and corseted costume giving her a swashbuckling elegance that perfectly captures the series' romantic-adventure spirit. Lyfoung's confident linework, brought to vivid life with Philippe Ogaki's rich blue and purple palette, makes this 2006 installment a genuinely striking addition to any Franco-Belgian comics collection.
