Rork #3

Part of Le Lombard's Histoires et Légendes line, this 1988 volume collects Andreas's singular vision in Rork: Le cimetière de cathédrales — and the cover alone sets an unforgettable mood. A white-haired figure in a striking red coat stands among towering Gothic arches overgrown with lush vegetation, small luminous creatures drifting through the atmospheric green light around him. Every line of Andreas's cover art — pencils and inks both his own — radiates that rare blend of the mysterious and the melancholic that makes Rork one of Franco-Belgian comics' most distinctive series.
