Napoleon #1

The first volume of this three-part Dutch-language biography opens with a striking cover by Fabrizio Fiorentino: a young, determined Napoleon strides forward through the chaos of battle, saber in hand and a tricolor flag billowing behind him, while soldiers clash in the smoke around him. A panoramic header strip above hints at the Egyptian campaign, with French troops marching past the Sphinx beneath a desert sun. Writer Noël Simsolo and artist Fiorentino together promise an ambitious, visually rich portrait of one of history's most consequential figures.
