Cortés #2

The concluding volume of Christian Chavassieux and Cédric Fernandez's two-part historical series arrives with a cover that pulses with color and tension. Dominating the composition is a towering Aztec figure adorned in an enormous feathered headdress and golden jewelry, arms spread wide and mouth open in a fierce cry — looming like a force of nature over the chaos below, where Spanish conquistadors on horseback clash with Aztec warriors amid the shadow of a stepped pyramid. Subtitled Le Cœur du Monde Unique ("The Heart of the Unique World"), this 2024 Glénat release promises a gripping and visually ambitious close to one of history's most dramatic encounters.
