Carthago #3

The third volume of Christophe Bec and Milan Jovanovic's deep-sea thriller Carthago plunges readers straight into the abyss with "Le Monstre de Djibouti." The cover says it all: a massive, open-jawed shark looms over a lone diver — a tiny human figure rendered almost weightless against the creature's overwhelming scale — surrounded by dark, craggy underwater rock formations that close in from every side. Published by Les Humanoïdes Associés in 2013, this entry in the series makes a visceral promise about the predatory terrors waiting beneath the waters off Djibouti.
