Det tredje testamentet #1
In "Markus eller Lejonet vaknar," a 2008 release from Albumförlaget Jonas Anderson, the dark legacy of the 13th century resurfaces when Charles of Elsenor summons the former inquisitor Conrad of Marbourg to investigate a massacre at the Veynes monastery. With his adoptive daughter Elisabeth by his side, Conrad sets out into the Pyrenees to confront the reclusive former abbot—now living as a hermit—whose secrets may hold the key to the violence that shattered the monastery. Written by Xavier Dorison, Alex Alice, and Jonas Anderson, and illustrated with striking detail by Alex Alice, this first issue blends historical dread with a haunting mystery, all rendered in bold colors and precise inks. The cover, also by Alex Alice, captures the tension of a world on the brink.
