Adapted from Victor Hugo's L'Aigle du Casque, this French graphic novel from Editions Carabas opens with a brooding, painterly cover that immediately signals its dark medieval tone — a towering armored knight in a spiked, shadowed helm looms above a lone white horse and rider rendered in pale contrast below. Camille Le Gendre's atmospheric artwork blends moody, loose brushwork with a sense of foreboding grandeur that feels wholly suited to Hugo's source material. A striking 2011 release for fans of literary adaptation and bold, expressive comics art.
