Trent #4/5/6

A lone rider in a red Mountie uniform on horseback picks his way across a vast, snow-blanketed landscape, dwarfed by towering, frost-grey rock formations that loom overhead — Leo's cover art for this 2009 German omnibus collecting Trent volumes 4, 5, and 6 is quietly breathtaking in its scale and atmosphere. The image sets a mood of isolation and quiet tension perfectly suited to the collected story "Das Tal der Angst" (The Valley of Fear). With Rodolphe's writing and Leo's art brought together in a handsome Salleck Publications edition, this is a compelling entry point for fans of Franco-Belgian adventure comics set in the rugged Canadian wilderness.
