Barbe-Rouge L'intégrale #1

This handsome Dargaud intégrale opens the complete collected edition of Barbe-Rouge with "Le Démon des Caraïbes," gathering Jean-Michel Charlier and Victor Hubinon's swashbuckling Caribbean saga in one sturdy volume. Victor Hubinon's cover art frames the red-coated, red-bearded pirate captain front and center — eye-patched, sword in hand, a flintlock at his belt — with a tall-masted sailing ship cresting the waves behind him, every detail radiating the salt-spray adventure that made this series a cornerstone of Franco-Belgian comics. A fine way to own the whole saga from the very beginning.
