Aslak #1

A Viking longship cuts through pale, misty waters on this striking 2011 Delcourt release, its crew of rugged warriors presided over by a red-cloaked figure perched boldly at the prow. *L'Œil du Monde* — "The Eye of the World" — promises an epic Norse adventure crafted by Hub, Weytens, Michalak, and Drac, whose clean, expressive linework gives the scene both grandeur and intimacy. If you're drawn to seafaring saga with a strong sense of atmosphere, this first volume looks like a fine place to set sail.
