Lefranc #35

A sun-drenched Mediterranean coastline sets the stage as Lefranc stands at the rail of a fishing vessel, watching a massive fireball erupt in the sky above — parachutes visible in the chaos — in this 2024 Casterman entry in Jacques Martin's long-running adventure series. The cover by Régric frames the tension beautifully, balancing the calm blue waters against that ominous, billowing explosion that gives the story its name: H-bommen op Almería. With Roger Seiter and James Vandermeersch on script duties and Régric's clean linework bringing it all to life, this thirty-fifth volume looks to deliver the kind of globe-trotting intrigue that has defined Lefranc for decades.
