Les aventures de Bob Leclerc #1

A lone figure in field gear stands at the base of a towering rocky cliff, hat blown from his head as a missile streaks overhead — it's a striking opening image for Le Cauchemar argenté, the first volume in Bouchard's Les aventures de Bob Leclerc series. Published by Mosquito in 2017, this Franco-Belgian-style adventure carries a wonderfully understated tension, mixing rugged wilderness atmosphere with Cold War-era hardware in a single, carefully composed scene. A promising start to what looks like a grounded, globe-trotting thriller.
