Simba Lee #1

Set against a lush jungle backdrop, this French-language adventure opens with a page of vivid sequential panels depicting a tense encounter between a group of characters — including a striking woman in a safari hat — and a crowd of local villagers, rendered in warm, expressive color by Vittorio Leonardo. Michel Faure's cover art captures the heat and drama of an African expedition in full swing, while Jean-Michel Charlier's script and Herbert's linework promise the kind of propulsive storytelling Charlier was known for. "Safari vers Dialo" looks like a compelling slice of classic Franco-Belgian adventure comics, freshly presented by Fordis in 2019.
