Dark Blood #1

From Delcourt, Sarn and Moreno launch Dark Blood with a first volume subtitled Icare that promises gothic horror steeped in atmosphere and dread. The cover is a rich, layered composition: a pale, red-haired vampiric woman in a tricorn hat looms beneath a full moon, while a monstrous creature in a gold-braided military uniform snarls and brandishes a saber in the foreground, and the luminous close-up of a blond figure with striking blue eyes watches from the right — all framed by a chaotic scene of torchbearers and rearing horses silhouetted against roaring flames. It's a confident opening statement for a series that blends supernatural menace with what looks like a richly historical setting.
