Les Chroniques de Magon #5

The fifth chapter of Les Chroniques de Magon arrives with a striking cover that sets an intense, otherworldly tone: a lone armored figure in a sweeping red cape stands atop a dark circular platform, surrounded by jagged peaks and crackling lightning against a deep crimson sky. The subtitle Les Seigneurs de Katé promises a confrontation with formidable forces, and the image — created by Jarry, Lapeyre, and Brants — radiates both isolation and defiance. Published by Delcourt in 2007, this installment of their science-fantasy series looks like a rewarding read for fans of atmospheric, visually bold French comics.
