Collection Pilote #60
This volume collects the complete 'Alva Mayor' storyline from the French series 'Collection Pilote' (1983), published by Dargaud.

The artwork and story are characteristic of the Pilote tradition, offering a self-contained graphic novel experience for fans of European comics.
"Alvar Mayor" delivers a stark, haunting moment in the saga of Alvar and Tihuo, as the two witness the brutal aftermath of a Spanish raid on the Hassis village—women taken, silence where life once was. Written by Trillo and brought to life with raw intensity by Enrique Breccia, whose pencils and inks define the story’s grim atmosphere, this issue from Collection Pilote #60 (1983) captures a pivotal, somber turning point with quiet power. The cover by Breccia mirrors the story’s weight, framing the moment with solemn precision.
Alvar Mayor takes on a perilous mission to find the fabled city of El Dorado, lured by legend and the promise of fortune. With the weight of history and mystery on his shoulders, he sets out into the unknown, guided only by whispers of gold and the courage to follow them.
In the wake of a brutal Spanish raid, Alvar and Tihuo confront the aftermath in the ruined village of Hassis, where the absence of women marks a grim departure from normal life. The quiet horror of the scene hangs in the air as they take in the scale of the violence and the mystery of the captives’ fate.
In the shadow of the Andes, Alvar Mayor answers a dangerous call, enlisted by a colonial official to venture into the heart of the Inca world and reach the fabled ruins of Machu Pichu. A journey steeped in mystery and peril, it tests not just his courage, but the very limits of what one man can endure in the name of duty and discovery.
