Dofus #9

Two small figures — a dark-haired young adventurer and a tall, slender companion — stand dwarfed beneath a swirling mass of enormous violet tentacles in this ninth volume of the Dofus manga series from Ankama. The subtitle 28 morts plus tard ("28 Deaths Later") hints at the perilous odds stacked against our heroes, and the cover's looming, otherworldly creature sets a wonderfully ominous tone. Published in 2008, this French fantasy adventure continues to translate the beloved online game world into vivid sequential art.
