Seuls #12

Volume 12 of Gazzotti and Vehlmann's acclaimed Seuls series arrives with a cover that crackles with tension: a defiant blonde boy extends his hand as bursts of energy detonate at his feet, while in the foreground a dark-haired figure wearing a striking red mask fills the frame with an intense, watchful gaze. The stark white background keeps all the focus on these two figures and the charged space between them, hinting at the conflict promised by the subtitle Les révoltés de Néosalem. It's a confident, clean composition from Bruno Gazzotti that makes you want to dive straight into what Fabien Vehlmann has in store for 2020's installment of this beloved Belgian series.
