Les Pirates de Barataria #8

The eighth chapter of Les Pirates de Barataria brings writer Marc Bourgne and artist Franck Bonnet to the misty shores of "Gaspésie," and the cover sets a quietly compelling mood: a group of armed figures — men and a woman among them — stride purposefully through a murky, Spanish-moss-draped landscape, while a tall-masted sailing ship looms ghostlike through the haze behind them. Bonnet's linework carries a beautifully atmospheric quality, balancing rugged adventure with an almost painterly stillness that feels right at home in Glénat's 2015 lineup.
