Excalibur kronieken #1

The legend of Excalibur comes to life in this Dutch-language album, "Eerste Lied: Pendragon," as a great ornate sword dominates the cover — its crossguard gleaming between a stern Roman-armored warrior and a white-bearded elder figure, with the massed banners of an army rising behind them in sepia haze. Alain Brion's painted artwork brings an epic, almost cinematic weight to the Arthurian world, rendered in rich earthy golds and deep reds that feel both ancient and immediate. This 2013 Daedalus release is a compelling entry point into the chronicles of Britain's most storied blade.
