Lefranc #12

Lefranc faces a chaotic, layered crisis in "De Camarilla," the twelfth album in Jacques Martin's long-running Belgian adventure series. The cover — brought to life by Gilles Chaillet — plunges you straight into the action: a red sports car hurtles through the air above a rocky coastal gorge, a detached wheel spinning free nearby, while down below Lefranc braces himself on a small boat surrounded by blue-suited figures in a scene crackling with tension. Published by Casterman in 1997, this is the kind of meticulously drawn Franco-Belgian adventure that rewards both longtime fans and curious newcomers.
