Le bossu de Montfaucon #1

The opening volume of Le Bossu de Montfaucon arrives from Bamboo Édition's Grand Angle imprint with a cover that immediately commands attention: a massive, shadowy face looms over a grim hilltop gallows surrounded by grave crosses and a swirl of dark birds, while a cloaked figure stands small against the eerie dusk below. Philippe Pelaez and Éric Stalner set a brooding, gothic tone that feels rooted in the darkest corners of historical France. If atmospheric mystery and medieval menace are your thing, this 2022 series opener is a compelling place to begin.
