La Tranchée #1

A haunting opener from Vents d'Ouest, La Tranchée launches with "Sauveur" — a first volume that sets its tone immediately through Christophe Marchetti's striking cover. Against a blood-red sky and a blasted, skeletal landscape, a lone soldier in a heavy greatcoat stands battered but defiant, the devastation of the trenches stretching out behind him. Marchetti's linework gives the scene a raw, somber weight that promises a deeply human story set against the horrors of war.
