Le vagabond des Limbes #17

From the creative team of Godard (story) and Ribera (art), this 1989 Dargaud album brings us La Martingale Céleste, the seventeenth chapter in the beloved French science-fiction series Le Vagabond des Limbes. Ribera's cover draws the eye immediately to the series' distinctive long-haired, goggle-wearing protagonist striding confidently in the foreground, accompanied by a dark-haired companion, while a crowd of colorfully dressed figures fills the background — suggesting a vibrant, bustling world where the stakes of the "Grand Jeu de la Vie" are very much alive. It's a inviting slice of Franco-Belgian SF adventure, rendered with Ribera's characteristically fluid, energetic line work.
