Carthago Adventures #4

The "Amarok" chapter of Carthago Adventures pits a lone figure against a massive, snarling wolf in a stark, snow-swept wilderness — Dražen Kovačević's cover work rendering both the creature's bloody ferocity and the human's desperate defiance with chilling precision. Christophe Bec and Giles Daoust bring their talent for primal, large-scale threats to this 2018 Daedalus release, and the frozen landscape feels every bit as dangerous as the beast itself. If you enjoy survival stories set against unforgiving nature, this installment of the Carthago Adventures series looks like a tense, beautifully rendered treat.
