Montagnes #[nn]

Two climbers cling to a sheer wall of ice under a pale, wintry moon — their axes and crampons doing all the work as the drop below them looks genuinely vertiginous. Blachon's cover art for this Glénat Humour collection sets the tone perfectly: the mountains are vast, indifferent, and full of comic potential. If you enjoy wit matched with a sharp eye for the absurdities of alpine adventure, Montagnes looks like a very satisfying climb.
