Shpountz et Clodomir #1

The first collected volume of Shpountz et Clodomir arrives from Berso in 1995, subtitled La Nuit du Grand Celte — a title that immediately promises something ancient and mysterious. The cover sets the mood perfectly: a small, scrappy figure stands atop a rocky outcrop, gesturing defiantly as an enormous, glowing object hurtles through a pale blue sky overhead. It's a wonderfully expressive image that balances humor and adventure in that distinctly charming Franco-Belgian tradition.
