Trent #2

Set against a warm autumn palette of golden and russet tones, this handsome European album presents Trent, a composed figure in a long coat and hat, strolling through what appears to be a tree-lined park while a horse and rider pass in the background. Leo's cover art — pencils, inks, and colors all his own — gives the scene a rich, painterly atmosphere that perfectly suits the Western-tinged storytelling Rodolphe, Eckart Schott, and Leo bring to "The Kid." Published by Salleck in 2002, this second volume in the series showcases why the album format does so much justice to Leo's confident, evocative linework.
