Démon #3
In "Le sorcier de Byzance," Arak and Satyricus arrive in the imperial city, where Emperor Constantine is captivated by the mysterious Valda—setting off a deadly challenge as Arak must face a monstrous aquatic creature to save her. With Haakon the barbarian seeking the secret of the greased fire, and Empress Irene betrayed by her vizir, Arak is drawn into a web of intrigue and duty. Written by Roy Thomas and Dann Thomas, with dynamic art by Adrian Gonzales and inks by Alfredo Alcala, this issue's cover by Gonzales and Alcala captures the clash of myth and empire.
In "Le sorcier de Byzance," Arak, Satyricus, and Valda arrive in the glittering city of Byzance, where Emperor Constantine is captivated by Valda’s presence—only for Arak to be thrust into a deadly trial to save her from a monstrous sea beast. As intrigue swirls through the imperial court, Arak crosses paths with the barbarian Haakon, hunted for the secret of the grégeois fire, while Empress Irene’s loyalty is tested by a treacherous vizir. With the help of the mysterious Johannes, Arak must navigate a web of danger, deception, and ancient magic—where every alliance could be a betrayal.
In "La vague humaine," wealthy athlete Dirk Huntley ignores warnings to retrieve the lost sword of the pirate captain Jean Latour—unwittingly freeing the aquatic guardian bound to it. A quiet moment of obsession turns into something far stranger when ancient tides stir beneath the surface.
In "Les crocs des fantômes," Officer Fontaine faces a chilling trial when he must bring two indigenous killers to justice—yet their eerie calm and the jungle’s whispers make him wonder if they’re truly human, or something far older and darker. A tense, atmospheric tale of doubt and dread, translated from the original French.
