Sangre #3

The third volume of Arleston and Floch's darkly elegant fantasy series brings us Hovannë l'irrésolue, and Floch's cover art immediately commands attention — a confident blonde woman in a crimson gown holds a dagger at the forefront, while a masked figure and a cast of brooding, sharp-featured characters loom from the shadows behind her. The interplay of deep blacks, rich reds, and pale skin tones gives the whole composition a vampiric, theatrical tension that feels entirely fitting for the Sangre world. Published by Soleil in 2022, this is stylish, atmospheric Franco-Belgian fantasy at its most visually striking.
