Mademoiselle J. #3

Set against a stark, wintry landscape, this third chapter of Mademoiselle J. presents its young heroine astride a sturdy horse, dressed in a fur-trimmed hat and warm riding gear, with a second horse and rider trailing behind — the subtitle Jusqu'au bout du monde ("To the ends of the earth") perfectly capturing the sense of a journey pushing into the unknown. By Verron and Yves Sente, this 2023 Dupuis album carries the series' signature blend of historical adventure and compelling character work into what promises to be a far-flung, wintry expedition. Fans of richly drawn Franco-Belgian adventure will find this volume a genuinely compelling next step for Mademoiselle J.
