Les fauves #1

Two crowned medieval monarchs — one in armor bearing golden lions, the other in elegant blue-and-gold robes — stand side by side against a map of France and England, immediately conveying the dynastic weight at the heart of this Franco-Belgian album. Les Fauves: Richard Cœur de Lion launches a history-minded series from Lorant Deutsch, Vincent Mottez, Roger Seiter, and Yigaël Coquel, published by Michel Lafon in 2019. It's a handsome, accessible package for anyone drawn to the medieval world of Plantagenet kings and the turbulent Anglo-French rivalries they embodied.
