Alix Origines #4

Set against the sun-baked rooftops and towering obelisks of ancient Egypt, this fourth volume of Alix Origines finds its young blond hero sprinting urgently alongside an Egyptian companion — the subtitle La Reine en péril making clear that royalty hangs in the balance. The cover's dynamic energy captures two determined young figures racing across wooden planks above a bustling ancient cityscape, with all the atmosphere and architectural detail that makes this series such a vivid window into the ancient world. A handsome 2023 entry from Casterman, crafted by Olivier Weinberg, Jacques Martin, and Marc Bourgne.
