Vasco #10

The tenth volume in Gilles Chaillet's sweeping medieval adventure series finds Vasco at the center of what appears to be a siege — the cover showing him sword in hand, surrounded by fallen foes in distinctive rounded helmets, with towering war machines looming against a dramatic purple sky. Chaillet's cover pencils and inks frame the scene with real compositional flair, capturing both the chaos of battle and Vasco's determined composure amid it all. Published by Le Lombard in 1991, "De honden van Bâhrâm Ghör" promises the kind of richly researched, atmospheric historical adventure that has made this series a staple of Franco-Belgian comics.
