Savage #2

The second chapter of Casterman's Savage series arrives in 2017 with a cover by Félix Meynet that oozes aristocratic intrigue — a self-assured young woman in a black outfit and cowboy hat lounges in a gilded throne-like chair, wine glass and pistol in hand, framed by crimson drapes and a grand painted portrait of a uniformed nobleman looming behind her. The subtitle "In de klauwen van Salm-Salm" promises she's caught up in something far more dangerous than her cool composure lets on. Meynet's lush, detailed linework and warm palette make this a genuinely striking package from the Yann-scripted series.
