Thorgal #9

The ninth volume of this beloved Belgian series finds Thorgal front and center on Grzegorz Rosiński's striking cover, bow drawn and ready alongside a red-clad young woman and a red-bearded warrior — all three archers braced against a dense crowd of fighters stretching into the background. "De boogschutters" (The Archers) promises exactly the kind of tense, skill-driven action that Jean Van Hamme and Rosiński consistently deliver, with every figure on this cover radiating focused determination. A fine entry in one of European comics' most enduring adventure series, published by Le Lombard in 1985.
