Le Masque de Fudo #2

The second volume of Saverio Tenuta's four-part series Le Masque de Fudo — subtitled "Pluie" — presents a striking cover tableau: a masked, bare-chested warrior kneels amid a field of fallen armored samurai, their blades scattered across a blood-soaked ground, while a fierce female warrior stands triumphant above on a stone platform, twin blades in hand and bamboo rising behind her. Tenuta's lush, painterly artwork gives the scene a haunting stillness that speaks volumes about the aftermath of brutal conflict. Published by Les Humanoïdes Associés, this is Franco-Belgian comics storytelling at its most visually atmospheric.
