Le chevalier inconnu #1

The first volume of Le Chevalier Inconnu opens with a striking image straight from the medieval battlefield: a fully armored knight on horseback charges forward, sword raised high, amid the chaos of flying projectiles and a distant castle. Writer André Divajeu and artist Loÿs Pétillot bring genuine energy to this Les Éditions du Triomphe release, with Pétillot's painted cover work giving the scene a vivid, storybook grandeur. If sweeping tales of chivalry and mystery appeal to you, this 2002 French-language series looks like a rewarding place to start.
