Adler #3

Set against a sun-baked desert landscape, the cover of "Muerte Transit" shows two young adventurers relaxing atop luggage and equipment cases in the shadow of a downed propeller plane — its yellow nose cone and dusty fuselage looming large behind them. René Sterne's linework captures a mood that's equal parts rugged and laid-back, with the arid mesas and scattered gear hinting at a journey far from ordinary. This third volume in the Adler series, published by Le Lombard in 1989, promises desert intrigue with a distinctly European bande dessinée flair.
