Les pionniers de l'espérance #10

Volume X of Les Pionniers de l'Espérance brings together Roger Lécureux and Raymond Poïvet's celebrated Franco-Belgian science-fiction series in this handsome Fordis Patrimoine collection. The cover sets the scene beautifully: a group of figures — including a woman with long blonde hair, a younger companion, and an armored humanoid — stand before a vast spherical structure teeming with swirling, bubble-like forms and birds, evoking a sense of wonder at the threshold of the unknown. Published in 2021, this is a fine opportunity to revisit one of the great adventures of the classic bande dessinée tradition.
