Le culte des ténèbres #1

A blindfolded woman in a crimson robe clutches a gleaming blade at the center of this atmospheric French album, while a massive, shadowy demonic figure looms behind her in shades of gray — a striking composition that immediately signals something both ceremonial and dangerous. Subtitled Altuna la Sanglante, this first tome from creators Di Giorgio and Tiberiu sets a mood of dark ritual and foreboding that draws you straight into the world of the Cult of Darkness. Published by Nucléa in 2003, it's a compelling opening chapter for fans of European genre comics with a taste for the occult.
