Monte-Cristo #3

A sleek commercial jetliner looms overhead as a silver-haired man stares with cold, calculating intensity — Mario Alberti's cover for Monte-Cristo #3 immediately signals that this modern reimagining of Alexandre Dumas's classic has arrived at a moment of high stakes. Subtitled "La Tempête" (The Storm), this 2024 Glénat volume written by Jordan Mechner and Martin Clément promises turbulence — both literal and figurative — for its contemporary Count. A compelling addition to this Franco-Belgian series that proves Dumas's tale of vengeance and reinvention loses none of its power across centuries.
