Mademoiselle J. #3

Set against a wintry, frost-pale backdrop, the cover of this third volume in the Mademoiselle J. series from Dupuis presents its fur-clad heroine riding confidently on horseback, a second riderless horse trailing close behind — a striking image that perfectly suits the 1945 wartime adventure promised by the title "Tot het einde van de wereld" ("To the End of the World"). Laurent Verron's cover linework brings real dynamism and warmth to the scene, with Mademoiselle J. looking purposeful and resilient in the saddle. Written by Yves Sente and illustrated by Verron with colors by Isabelle Rabarot, this 2024 album looks like a beautifully crafted continuation of the series.
