Méta-Baron #3

The third volume of Les Humanoïdes Associés' Méta-Baron series brings together writers Alejandro Jodorowsky and Jerry Frissen for "Orne-8 Le Techno-Cardinal," with Niko Henrichon delivering a striking cover that immediately commands attention. A close-up figure in black with blood-spattered hands dominates the image, their massive amber-tinted goggles reflecting the distorted faces of screaming women — an unsettling visual that speaks to the grand, mythic strangeness this series is known for. Henrichon's detailed linework and rich desert-toned palette make this 2016 entry a compelling piece of science-fantasy storytelling.
