Antarès #3

Leo's sweeping Les Mondes d'Aldébaran saga continues with Antarès Épisode 3, the third cycle in this beloved French science-fiction series. The cover sets a quietly arresting scene: a young woman carrying a small child on her hip — a holstered sidearm at her belt — watches three small, crane-like alien creatures waddle along a sandy beach toward a striking, much larger bird-creature with bold black-and-white striped plumage and an open beak, all beneath a brooding overcast sky. Leo's characteristically naturalistic linework and warm, grounded colors give this alien world an almost tangible texture, reminding readers why this long-running Dargaud series has earned such a devoted following since its inception.
