Le Grand Fleuve #2

The second volume of Le Grand Fleuve, subtitled Vent de Mar, plunges readers into a world of turbulent waters and nautical peril — the cover alone, from the creative team of Serge Aillery and Jean-Luc Hiettre, sets a gripping tone. A determined figure in period naval dress grips thick ropes amid the chaos of a wreck or storm-tossed vessel, with ruins and a tower looming ghostlike through the mist behind him. Published by Editions Paquet in 2016, this Franco-Belgian adventure series continues to deliver beautifully rendered storytelling with a distinctly maritime soul.
