Thorgal #40

Thorgal's brooding, weathered face dominates this 2022 Le Lombard cover, rendered with striking painterly depth by Grzegorz Rosiński — the long dark hair and intense gaze conveying a man steeled against whatever the frozen north can throw at him. Behind him, small figures race across an icy, wind-swept landscape in low, sleek watercraft, threading between curved wooden stakes beneath a blinding arctic sun. With writer Yann and artist F. Vignaux bringing "Tupilaks" to life inside, this fortieth volume promises the same blend of mythic atmosphere and high-stakes adventure that has defined the series.
