Atalante #2

The second volume of Crissé's Atalante: De Legende subtitled "Nautiliaa," plunges our golden-haired warrior heroine into a breathtaking moonlit confrontation with a massive, writhing sea creature whose tentacles rear up against an icy, castle-shadowed night sky. A cloaked companion crouches below while Atalante faces down the beast beside a crumbling frost-covered column — it's a scene that perfectly captures the mythological grandeur this Belgian fantasy series delivers. A stunning 2011 hardcover for fans of adventure steeped in ancient legend and vivid, atmospheric artwork.
