Sauvage #1

Casterman's 2013 launch of Sauvage opens with "Les damnés d'Oaxaca," a Franco-Belgian western set against the turbulent backdrop of 19th-century Mexico. Félix Meynet's cover depicts a confident, blue-uniformed soldier striding forward with pistol raised and saber drawn, while a chaotic battle between French Legionnaires and indigenous Mexican warriors surges across the rocky terrain behind him. It's a striking visual introduction to what promises to be a gritty, historically flavored adventure series.
