L'Or et le Sang #3

Two men stand back-to-back in uneasy alliance — one gripping a rifle, the other with hands thrust in his pockets — against a stark white background that gives way to a silhouetted red cityscape and a biplane overhead, setting a tense, atmospheric mood for Les Princes du Djebel. This third volume of L'Or et le Sang, published by Glénat in 2014, brings together the creative team of Bedouel, Merwan, Defrance, and Nury for what promises to be a gripping chapter in this Franco-Algerian adventure series. The cover's cool restraint and bold graphic confidence make it immediately compelling on any shelf.
