Eternus 9 #[2]

Victor Mesquita's Eternus returns with issue nine, subtitled "A Cidade dos Espelhos" — The City of Mirrors — and the cover alone sets a haunting tone. A pale, otherworldly figure reclines in an unsettling dreamlike pose beneath cascading crystal or mirror-like structures that fragment the space above, rendered in Mesquita's striking linework. Published by Gradiva in 2010, this Portuguese series continues to prove that ambitious, atmospheric fantasy storytelling has a vibrant home in comics.
