Moses Rose #1

A lone figure in a long coat and top hat stands with his back to us, rifle in hand, surveying the smoke-filled ruins of the Alamo as a Mexican flag flies over the battered fortress — it's a quietly powerful opening image for this French-language historical series. Moses Rose #1: La Balade de l'Alamo introduces readers to one of the most intriguing figures connected to the legendary 1836 siege, brought to life through Christelle Galland's atmospheric linework and Morgann Tanco's evocative, dust-hued colors. Published by Bamboo Édition's Grand Angle imprint in 2015, this is a confident, handsomely crafted début for a story that clearly has both history and humanity at its heart.
