Le Feul #2

The second chapter of Le Feul arrives with a striking cover that commands immediate attention: a gaunt, bald warrior crouches against a desolate, rocky landscape, gripping a broad sword with quiet, coiled menace — his arm marked with vivid red tattoos that hint at a world steeped in distinct tribal lore. Subtitled Les Brohms, this 2007 Soleil release from the team of Gaudin and Peynet continues to build what looks like a richly imagined post-apocalyptic or dark fantasy universe. If the brooding atmosphere of this cover is any measure, the series is shaping up to be one of French comics' more compelling genre offerings of that year.
