Les passagers du vent #1

This first volume of the 2009 series 'Les Passagers du Vent' collects the opening chapters of François Bourgeon's acclaimed historical adventure saga, set against the backdrop of the 18th-century slave trade. Originally published in the 1980s, this French edition from 12 Bis presents the story of young aristocrat Isa, who disguises herself as a cabin boy to escape an arranged marriage and becomes entangled in the brutal realities of maritime commerce and colonial exploitation. The volume is known for its meticulous historical detail and Bourgeon's expressive, richly colored artwork.
