Vasco #29

Three richly costumed figures — an elderly robed figure pointing accusingly, a young man in red standing his ground, and a tall blond warrior in blue — set the stage for medieval intrigue in Vasco: Affaires Lombardes. The team of Chaillet, Révillon, and Rousseau brings the long-running historical adventure series to the courts and conflicts of northern Italy, and the tension radiating from that single pointed finger promises plenty of political drama. Fans of carefully researched medieval storytelling will find this 2018 Le Lombard volume a worthy addition to the series.
