Antares #4

Two figures stand with their backs to us on a sun-baked alien plain, facing a remarkable creature — a horse-like animal bristling with a dramatic crown of long quills or spines along its back — in this fourth installment of Leo's science-fiction series. The warm golden atmosphere and quietly tense encounter capture the sense of wonder that has made Antares such a compelling piece of European sci-fi comics. With Leo handling writing, art, inking, and coloring throughout the 2013 Cinebook edition, the series continues to feel like a singular, fully realized vision of life on a distant world.
