Nous, les morts #4

The fourth volume of Nous, les morts — subtitled Les Enfants d'Abel — arrives from Delcourt with a cover that immediately commands attention: a massive gorilla anchors the foreground, while behind it rises a dense, haunting procession of figures from wildly different eras and cultures, warriors and wanderers stretching back into the distance as far as the eye can see. The cool blue-grey palette gives the entire image a spectral, timeless weight that feels wholly fitting for a series whose very title translates as We, the Dead. With Macan, Kordey, and Vitković at the helm, this 2015 release promises the same ambitious, evocative vision that defines the series.
