Complainte des Landes perdues - Les Chevaliers du Pardon #3

A masked, pale-skinned sorcerer dominates this haunting cover, robed in dark garments and cradling a glowing orb in one outstretched hand — while behind them, an ornate door crawls with carved demonic faces that seem to watch from the shadows. It's a beautifully unsettling image that captures the dark fantasy atmosphere Complainte des Landes perdues does so well, with Delaby and Dufaux bringing unmistakable craft to every detail. The third volume in the Les Chevaliers du Pardon cycle, published by Dargaud in 2012, promises the kind of brooding, gothic storytelling that makes this French series so compelling.
