Sälem la noire #3

Part of Delcourt's Terres de Légendes line, this third volume of Sälem la Noire by Cordurié and Créty presents a striking coastal landscape where dramatic clifftops plunge toward a misty sea dotted with distant sails. On a winding clifftop path, a red-haired rider on horseback is accompanied by a walking companion, the two figures looking small but purposeful against the sweeping, atmospheric scenery. Subtitled Zongeren et Tinicho, this 2004 entry delivers the kind of richly illustrated European fantasy adventure that makes the Terres de Légendes imprint such a pleasure to explore.
