Le Quatrième pouvoir #4

Juan Gimenez delivers a striking painted cover for this 2008 Les Humanoïdes Associés release, presenting Gal front and center — a silver-haired, armor-clad warrior woman gripping a heavy automatic weapon, her expression cool and determined. Looming behind her in the red-tinged background are massive, ominous helmet-clad figures, underscoring the sense of overwhelming opposition she faces. L'Île D-7 promises exactly the kind of gritty, atmospheric science-fiction that Gimenez handles so masterfully.
