Luchtpost #2

A leather-helmeted aviator gazes skyward against a twilight sky dotted with stars, while a propeller aircraft waits on the ground below — a striking image that perfectly captures the romance and solitude of early aviation. This second volume of Luchtpost, subtitled "Het koninkrijk tussen de sterren" (The Kingdom Between the Stars), continues Pierre-Roland Saint-Dizier and Vincent Hoberg's series centered on Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the celebrated author-pilot. Cédric Fernandez's painterly cover work lends the whole thing a cinematic gravitas that makes this Dutch-language release from Dark Dragon Books genuinely hard to put down before you've even opened it.
