Vasco #27

A striking desert landscape dominates this 2016 Le Lombard release, as towering sandstone cliffs frame a narrow canyon where figures on horseback thread their way through the heat-hazed distance. In the foreground, two turbaned travelers crouch among the rocks, watching with quiet tension — a scene that evokes both the grandeur and the danger of arid, fortress-studded lands. Les Citadelles de Sable promises the kind of richly atmospheric historical adventure that has made the Vasco series, brought to life here by Chaillet, Révillon, and Rousseau, a beloved fixture of Franco-Belgian comics.
