Far Out #2

Two dusty gunslingers face off in the foreground — one wielding a sawed-off shotgun, the other a mysterious robotic figure beneath a wide-brimmed hat — while a lone figure waits in the hazy frontier street behind them, setting an irresistible science-fiction Western tension right from the cover. Created by Langevin and Carpentier, this second volume from Studio Lounak blends the classic showdown atmosphere of the Old West with something decidedly stranger and more mechanical. With a preface by Achdé, the artist behind Lucky Luke, Far Out #2 arrives in 2015 as a genuinely intriguing Franco-Belgian take on the genre that's hard to put down before you've even opened it.
