De zoon van de Arend #2

This handsome integral edition from Arboris collects the second chapter of Michel Faure and Daniel Vaxelaire's De zoon van de Arend, subtitled Huzaren van de Keizer. The cover sets a richly atmospheric Napoleonic-era scene: a statuesque woman in an elegant black dress holds a candelabra aloft on a shadowed stone stairway, a turbaned child at her side, while uniformed soldiers linger in the lamplit street below and a dramatic fortress looms against the twilight sky. It's a beautifully painted image that promises intrigue, adventure, and a world caught between candlelight and conflict.
