Les aigles décapitées #11

The eleventh volume of this French medieval series from Glénat, Le Loup de Cuzion, sets an immediately unsettling tone with its cover: a young woman in a blue cloak flees in terror as an enormous, shadowy werewolf looms behind her against a moonlit stone church. By Kraehn and Pierret, the artwork masterfully contrasts the vulnerability of the figure below with the monstrous silhouette above, promising a dark, folklore-tinged chapter in the Les Aigles Décapitées saga. Fans of atmospheric historical adventure will find this 1997 entry hard to resist.
