Les voyages de Takuan #1

From writer Serge Le Tendre and artist Emiliano Simeoni comes this striking 1987 launch of Les voyages de Takuan, opening with "Les fous de Dieu." Simeoni's cover commands immediate attention: a bare-chested, fur-clad warrior dominates the snowy foreground, arms outstretched and holding a cross and a whip, while a group of mounted and foot travelers threads through the wintry landscape behind him — the whole scene bathed in an eerie crimson sky. It's a vivid, atmospheric introduction to what promises to be an adventure of faith, wandering, and conflict set against a harsh and unforgiving world.
