Le Gardien de la Lance #1

The cover of this 2002 Glénat album immediately sets a tense, atmospheric mood: a rugged adventurer grips what appears to be a rifle or club in the foreground, while a uniformed Nazi officer stands coolly behind him — two figures whose relationship feels anything but friendly. With Egyptian hieroglyphic imagery filling the golden background, Le Gardien de la Lance Vol. 1 — Les Frères promises a wartime adventure steeped in ancient mystery and dangerous alliances. Ferry and Ersel deliver a striking visual opening chapter to what looks like a richly layered historical thriller.
