Les cavaliers de l'apocalypse #1

A commanding 2005 French-language album from Théloma, Les cavaliers de l'apocalypse opens its run with "Le maître des limbes," and the cover sets a striking tone immediately. Against a vast full moon, a dark winged figure looms over a seething mass of demonic creatures — most notably a fearsome red dragon dominating the foreground — conjuring a world teetering between the infernal and the apocalyptic. Created by Taret and Bautista, this is a visually arresting introduction to a series that clearly has no shortage of ambition or spectacle.
