Rani #3

From the creative team of Jean Van Hamme and Francis Vallès, this third volume of Rani presents a striking cover image: a young woman draped in rose-colored fabric, seated within an ornate Moorish archway, her wrists bound by delicate chains — a haunting visual that sets the tone for the "Slavin" storyline within. Vallès's linework is elegant and assured, framing Rani in warm crimson tones that evoke both beauty and captivity. Published by Le Lombard in 2012, this album continues what is shaping up to be one of Belgian comics' more compelling adventure series.
