Vercingetorix #[nn]

This Belgian-published album brings the story of Karel de Grote — Charlemagne himself — to life through the work of Bruneau, Delmas, Lemercier, and Bührer-Thierry. The cover presents a commanding, crown-wearing figure in chain mail and a sweeping red cloak, sword gripped at his side, gazing out over a snow-dusted ancient city complete with a colosseum in the distance and armored soldiers assembled behind him. It's a striking, historically atmospheric image that sets a suitably grand stage for one of history's most consequential rulers.
