Vasco #25

A brooding Mount Vesuvius looms over a sun-drenched bay in this 2013 Le Lombard entry in the long-running medieval adventure series. Dominique Rousseau's cover places Vasco front and center in his striking red cloak, while behind him a frantic scene unfolds — armored riders, a struggling crowd, and a heavy-wheeled cart caught in what feels like desperate flight. "Les enfants du Vésuve" promises Chaillet and Rousseau at their atmospheric best, blending historical texture with pulse-quickening tension against one of the ancient world's most formidable natural backdrops.
