Napoléon #2

The second volume of this French-language series takes us to Corsica — La Corse — where a young Napoleon stands front and center on the cover, flanked by two companions against a warm golden urban backdrop. A banner overhead carries an Italian-language declaration invoking liberty and Corsica, immediately setting the political and regional atmosphere of this chapter in Napoleon's story. It's an appealing, stylishly illustrated entry from Des ronds dans l'O that brings early Napoleonic history to life with a clean, inviting graphic novel aesthetic.
