Golden Cup #4

The fourth volume of Delcourt's Golden Cup series takes the high-stakes racing world into breathtaking frozen territory, subtitled La Fille de la Toundra. The cover — by Pecqueur, Henriet, and Schelle — shows a lone figure standing on a snow-covered ledge, gazing out over a sweeping wintry landscape of snow-laden pines and a small village below, while a bright yellow racing vehicle speeds along a course in the valley. It's a striking image that perfectly balances the solitude of the tundra with the thrill of the race, making this 2008 entry one of the series' most atmospheric installments yet.
