Tango #4

The fourth volume of Le Lombard's Tango series lands with a quietly commanding cover by Philippe Xavier, depicting the series' rugged protagonist standing amid what appears to be a war-torn urban landscape, with a distant hilltop statue and volcanic peaks rising into a pale blue sky behind him. The title "Quitte of dubbel in Quito" promises high stakes in the Ecuadorian capital, and the tension in that lone figure's posture — fists loose, jaw set, surveying the wreckage around him — says everything without a word. With Xavier handling both the art and inks alongside writer Matz, this 2020 entry in the series carries the gritty, atmospheric confidence that makes Tango such a compelling thriller franchise.
