Elfen #12

Towering over a smoldering, rocky landscape, a massive armored orc warrior carries a small, pale elven figure on his shoulders — an arresting image of brute power and fragile vulnerability that sets the tone for "De koningin van de Boselfen" (The Queen of the Forest Elves). The cover art by Gianluca Maconi is richly detailed, with volcanic fires glowing in the background and a wolf-like creature lurking at the warrior's feet, hinting at the wild, dangerous world within. This 2017 Dutch-language entry in the Elfen series, written by Nicolas Jarry and Frank Vanzeer, looks like a compelling chapter in this fantasy saga.
