Namibia #1

The opening episode of this Dargaud series from creators Rodolphe, Leo, and Marchal drops us straight into an unsettling landscape — a young man sprints through the brush while enormous, iridescent flies swarm around him against a churning teal sky, a distant jeep on a dusty road hinting at the wider world he's fleeing. The cover's blend of grounded African wilderness and something unmistakably strange signals an adventure that straddles the natural and the otherworldly. A confident, visually striking launch from 2010 that makes the promise of this series immediately clear.
