Saga Valta #1

From Jean Dufaux and Mohamed Aouamri, this 2012 Le Lombard series opener plunges readers into a world of Norse-tinged myth and shadow. Aouamri's cover presents a brooding, intimate tableau: a powerfully built warrior clutching a spear draws close to a pale, silver-haired young woman draped in white, the two figures set against a moonlit forest and a distant cottage cloaked in eerie blue. It's a striking introduction to what promises to be a saga of fierce warriors and haunting mysteries.
