Artesia Annual #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Epilogue" wraps up Artesia’s saga with a quiet yet pivotal moment: the war effort is in full swing, and Artesia is strategizing with her trusted allies when a young girl steps forward, eager to serve. Written and illustrated entirely by Mark Smylie, this 1999 annual offers a rare, personal glimpse into the aftermath of conflict, with every page drawn and lettered by the creator himself. The cover, also by Smylie, captures the solemn determination of the moment.
In "Epilogue," Urgrayne leads Bran’s severed head on a journey through Daradja, where they witness Artesia assembling her forces for a campaign into the Middle Kingdoms—her resolve hardening as she prepares to confront the looming Thessid-Golan invasion. The story unfolds with quiet intensity, blending grim spectacle and quiet determination in a moment that lingers beyond battle.
In the tense lead-up to the Thessid-Golan invasion, Artesia gathers her officers and allies to discuss strategy, her focus sharp and her resolve unshaken—until a young girl arrives, determined to join the fight. The story quietly builds atmosphere and stakes, grounding its epic scale in the quiet moments of command and the unexpected arrival of someone who may change everything.
