Gli Integrali BD #19

This Italian integral edition collects the first half of Hammerfall — "La fatica del Serpente" — written by Sylvain Runberg and drawn by Boris Talijančić, with colors by Irène Häfliger. Nicolas Fructus's cover presents a striking vision of a long-haired warrior in layered armor, battle-axe in hand, standing resolute before a sweeping landscape crowded with distant figures, while a cloaked, shadowy figure crouches in the foreground rocks — an image that immediately communicates both epic scale and personal danger. At 116 special pages and €13.50, this 2020 release from Aurea Books and Comix is a handsome way to dive into this Nordic-flavored adventure in one generous sitting.
