Maxime Valmont #2

Two figures race across a crumbling stone structure in this 2018 adventure from Editions du Long Bec — a determined man in a brown jacket and red tie brandishes a pistol in the foreground, while a younger blond companion scrambles urgently behind him amid a dusty, war-scarred landscape. Seiter and Manunta bring a cinematic energy to Maxime Valmont, capturing the tension of pursuit and danger with confident, expressive linework. If pulpy action-adventure with a classic European comics sensibility is your thing, this second volume delivers exactly the kind of visceral cover promise that pulls you straight in.
