Moses Rose #3

The third volume of Moses Rose arrives subtitled "El Deguello" — the Spanish term for a throat-cutting battle signal — and Christelle Galland's cover leaves no doubt about the tension in store. Dominating the image is a close, intense portrait of a weathered face bathed in deep crimson, eyes burning with fierce resolve beneath a thick coil of rope that loops ominously overhead. Galland's painterly art, handling line, ink, and color all herself, gives that face a raw, almost sculptural presence that pulls you in immediately. Published by Grand Angle/Bamboo Édition in 2017, this is a striking chapter in the series' rugged frontier drama.
