Le Messager #5

A robed figure crouches in tense, flickering torchlight beneath the looming shadow of an enormous engraved vessel — a striking cover composition that immediately evokes medieval mystery and hidden secrets. Subtitled Le Secret de la Lance, this fifth volume of Le Messager from Bamboo Édition promises intrigue steeped in religious symbolism and shadowy stonework. Mig and Richéz craft a cover that draws the eye with its warm amber tones and palpable sense of danger, making 2009 a fine year to be following this series.
