Nains #1

The French fantasy anthology series Nains launches with "Redwin de la Forge," and Pierre-Denis Goux's cover makes a strong first impression: a battle-hardened dwarf warrior dominates the foreground, his ornate dark armor catching the light as he grips a gleaming sword with quiet authority. Behind him, a grand torchlit hall stretches into the background, populated by more of his kin — suggesting a world rich with dwarven culture and craftsmanship. Writers Nicolas Jarry and Jean-Luc Istin, together with Goux's detailed linework, set a promising tone for this 2015 Soleil series dedicated entirely to exploring dwarven lore.
