Double Masque #6

Dufaux and Jamar bring regal grandeur to this sixth volume of Double Masque, its cover dominated by a imperious figure draped in ermine-trimmed coronation robes, laurel-crowned and clutching a golden eagle-topped scepter against a deep crimson backdrop. The subtitle L'Hermine — "The Ermine" — speaks directly to that fur-lined splendor, hinting at themes of power, nobility, and the weight of authority. A beautifully composed entry in this French-Belgian historical series from Dargaud, rendered with the painterly richness that has defined the collaboration throughout.
