Lonesome #3

A weathered gunfighter stands poised with a revolver in each hand, his long blond hair and steady gaze radiating the kind of dangerous calm that only the loneliest men of the frontier carry. Yves Swolfs — writer, artist, and inker — brings his full craft to this third chapter of Lonesome, subtitled "Les liens du sang" (Blood Ties), with color by Julie Swolfs lending the dusty Western backdrop a beautifully muted, sun-bleached atmosphere. If you've been following this French-language Western series, 2021's third volume promises the same brooding, painterly storytelling that makes Lonesome stand apart from the crowd.
