Lex #1

A striking first volume in this French fantasy series from Froideval and Collignon, La Loi du Talion announces itself with a cover that commands attention. A robed, masked figure sits enthroned between two similarly garbed attendants above a scene of fiery chaos — silhouetted figures stand against a blazing inferno, with the scales of justice rendered in flame at the center. The combination of cold, stone-grey authority above and burning disorder below sets a rich, morally charged tone for this 1999 Zenda release.
