Avec Alix - L'univers de Jacques Martin #[nn]

A handsome tribute volume from Casterman, *Avec Alix – L'univers de Jacques Martin* brings together the creative vision of Jacques Martin alongside text by Th. Groensteen and A. de Kuyssche. The cover sets a fittingly Mediterranean tone: two young figures — the dark-haired Alix and his fair-haired companion — rest back-to-back against a grand pink column, spears in hand, surrounded by scattered shields, helmets, and weapons, with ancient galleys sailing a sun-lit sea behind them. It's a graceful, sun-soaked image that captures the adventurous spirit of the Alix universe perfectly.
