Long John Silver #4

The fourth and final volume of this acclaimed French adventure series, Long John Silver: Guiana Capac, arrives from Cinebook in 2013 with a cover by Mathieu Lauffray that's nothing short of breathtaking. A commanding, weathered figure — Long John Silver himself — is enthroned in brooding, golden-green light amid ancient ruins, crutch at his side and the weight of hard-won power written across his posture. Written by Xavier Dorison and Jérôme Saincantin and fully rendered by Lauffray, this is a richly atmospheric conclusion to a series that reimagines the world of Treasure Island with real darkness and ambition.
