Timon des Blés #5

The fifth volume of Bardet and Klimos's historical adventure series finds Timon in a desperate situation — on the cover, his weathered, anguished face fills the foreground beneath the looming shadow of a guillotine, while Revolutionary-era soldiers stand watch in their tricorn hats and uniforms, weapons at the ready. Subtitled La Mouette, this 1992 Glénat release captures the tension of the French Revolutionary period with striking clarity, the scaffold's stark wooden frame dominating the composition. It's a visually gripping entry in the series, with Klimos's detailed linework conveying both the menace of the era and the raw emotion on Timon's face.
