Undertaker #2

A top-hatted undertaker sits rifle in hand amid blood-red canyon walls, entirely surrounded by perching vultures — an atmosphere of eerie, patient menace rendered with striking craft by Ralph Meyer. This second volume of Undertaker, "La danse des vautours" (The Dance of the Vultures), signals that the Western frontier here is as unforgiving as it is visually arresting. Xavier Dorison and Ralph Meyer, with colors by Caroline Delabie and Ralph Meyer, deliver a series that clearly has no shortage of brooding style.
