L'Or et le Sang #1

Two hard-edged men dominate this striking Glénat cover — one brooding and broad-shouldered in the foreground, the other leveling a submachine gun behind him — while a lone red sailboat drifts ominously on dark water below. The title L'Or et le Sang ("Gold and Blood") sets the mood perfectly, and the subtitle L'Appel du Large ("The Call of the Open Sea") hints at a story pulling its characters toward danger and distant horizons. From the creative team of Bedouel, Merwan, Defrance, and Nury, this 2014 opening volume promises a tense, stylish thriller that earns every drop of its title.
