Alix #40

A brooding, atmospheric cover sets the mood perfectly for this 2021 Casterman entry in the long-running Alix series — the blond Gallo-Roman hero stands guard in the foreground, sword in hand, his expression tense and watchful. Behind him, within a smoke-filled underground sanctuary, a colossal bull-headed statue looms over carved inscriptions while two younger companions face off in its shadow. The creative team of Jacques Martin, V. Mangin, and C. Millien brings genuine grandeur to L'Œil du Minotaure, plunging Alix into what promises to be a mythologically charged adventure worthy of the series' enduring appeal.
