Undertaker #5

Set against the stark, snow-blanketed canyons of the American West, this fifth volume of Undertaker finds the series' top-hatted undertaker front and center — pistol drawn, dark coat billowing — while a group of figures, including what appears to be a pale, skull-faced rider on horseback, loom ominously in the mist behind him. "De witte indiaan" promises a tense confrontation somewhere between the living and something far more unsettling. Xavier Dorison and Ralph Meyer, whose moody linework and Caroline Delabie's atmospheric coloring give the scene its haunting, wintry dread, deliver another gripping chapter in this acclaimed Western series from Dargaud.
