L'Expédition #2

The second chapter of Marazano and Frusin's L'Expédition arrives with a cover that commands attention — a cloaked Roman-style warrior stands defiantly atop rocky terrain alongside a fierce wild woman, a snarling leopard, and a host of savage, creature-like figures emerging from a misty green gloom. Subtitled La Révolte de Niangara, this 2014 Dargaud release promises a collision of civilizations and untamed forces that feels both epic and deeply strange. Frusin's atmospheric painted artwork gives every figure a raw, visceral energy that makes this volume impossible to overlook.
