Thorgal #40

A brooding, windswept Thorgal dominates this 2022 Le Lombard cover, his weathered face filling the foreground against a vast, ice-blue arctic wilderness — while small figures paddle a kayak through frigid waters in the distance, hinting at a journey through perilous frozen lands. The title "Tupilaks" evokes the spirit-carved figures of Inuit tradition, lending this fortieth volume of the long-running series a haunting, mythological atmosphere. With cover art by Grzegorz Rosiński and interiors by F. Vignaux adapting Yann's script, this entry promises the blend of northern adventure and quiet menace that has defined Thorgal across decades.
