Djinn #9

The ninth volume of Dargaud's Djinn series, "Le Roi Gorille," arrives in 2009 with a breathtaking cover by Ana Mirallès — a commanding woman adorned in vivid blue-and-gold robes and elaborate golden jewelry stands before a warm desert sun, her long braided hair swept dramatically in the wind as she grips an ornate staff. Jean Dufaux and Mirallès continue their richly styled series with this striking image that radiates both regal power and otherworldly mystique. Fans of lushly illustrated Franco-Belgian comics will find this volume a visually sumptuous addition to the series.
