Eros Graphic Albums #54

Eros Graphic Albums #54 brings Dennis Cramer's Mara: The Summer Country to life through his striking cover portrait of Mara herself — a barefoot, blonde Celtic shamaness with vivid green eyes, her arms outstretched against a swirling violet and crimson background. The cover text promises a journey down a dark path of mystical horrors and into dungeons of passion and torture, setting a moody, otherworldly tone that Cramer renders with fluid, painterly linework. Published by Fantagraphics/Eros in 2003, this album-format edition is a compelling showcase for Cramer's lush, detailed art style.
