Le Fléau #4

The fourth volume of Delcourt's French-language adaptation of Stephen King's Le Fléau arrives with a cover by Lee Bermejo that is genuinely hard to look away from — a gaunt, grinning figure looms against a wall of roaring flame, holding a small, eerie light in cupped hands while an industrial silhouette burns in the background. The image perfectly captures the menace and apocalyptic scale that King's story demands, with Bermejo's painted intensity giving the threat a visceral, almost feverish quality. With Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Mike Perkins driving the interior work, subtitled Les Survivants, this 2011 edition is a compelling chapter in one of horror comics' most ambitious adaptations.
