Carthago Adventures #5

The cover of Carthago Adventures #5 sets a quietly haunting tone: a hunched, fur-covered figure — Zana — sits chained to a cave wall, head bowed over what appears to be a broken shell or keepsake, surrounded by rough stone and a narrow crack of dim light. Christophe Bec and Aleksa Gajić bring the same sense of primal mystery that defines the broader Carthago universe to this standalone "Adventures" chapter, with Gajić's earthy, textured artwork lending the scene real emotional weight. Published by Splitter Verlag in 2018, this issue looks like a compelling, quietly affecting addition to the series.
