Orcs & Gobelins #16

Volume 16 of the long-running French fantasy series Orcs & Gobelins turns its spotlight on Morogg, a powerfully built orc warrior shown crouching in a misty, overgrown swamp, spear in hand, surrounded by the haunting silhouettes of goblins lurking in the murk behind him. The atmosphere is brooding and atmospheric, with Jacquemoire's detailed linework and a cool, earthy palette giving the scene a real sense of tension and melancholy. If you've been following this Soleil series — or you're simply drawn to grounded, character-driven fantasy — this 2022 entry looks like a compelling place to dive in.
