Marshal Bass #11

The eleventh volume of Marshal Bass arrives with a cover that sets the mood perfectly: a rugged, weathered man in a long coat and bowler hat leans against a tree, shotgun in hand, beside a wanted poster bearing the name "River Bass" with a $5,000 bounty. Writer Darko Macan and artist Igor Kordey continue their gritty Franco-Belgian Western with this chapter subtitled "Putain de fric" — dirty money indeed — framed by a striking autumnal palette of burnt orange and deep red that feels anything but peaceful. Kordey's cover work is quietly tense, the kind that rewards a long look before you even crack the spine.
