Philippe FRANCQ Largo Winch The Fortress of Makiling India ink on paper for the cover of this album published in 1996 by Dupuis. Title pasted on with handwritten annotations in blue pencil. Script by Jean Van Hamme. Signed 37 x 27 cm - Framed A superb cover, the first part of the diptych formed with L'Heure du tigre, important episodes which, with over 200,000 copies sold for each of these two titles, have confirmed the success of the series with the public. Simon Ovronnaz finds himself trapped in Burma, and Largo is going to do everything he can to help him; he has to act fast, because he only has a few days left before his friend is executed. So he goes there and joins the Chan rebels who are fighting the corrupt military in power in Rangoon. He also meets the beautiful Malunai, who is courageously fighting for the independence of her people. Philippe FRANCQ
