Bout d'homme #5

A solitary small figure in a blue coat stands before a sweeping autumn landscape of rocky cliffs, a winding river, and flame-red foliage in this fifth volume of Jean-Charles Kraehn's series from Glénat. The painterly cover art conveys a real sense of scale and wilderness solitude, with bare twisted branches framing the scene and towering sandstone formations looming in the background. If you enjoy thoughtful Franco-Belgian adventure with a strong sense of place, Bout d'homme volume 5, L'épreuve, looks like a quietly compelling addition to your shelf.
