Gloria Victis #1

Published by Le Lombard in 2014, this first volume of Gloria Victis opens with "Les fils d'Apollon" — and Mateo Guerrero's cover sets the scene with real energy: a charioteer urges two powerful horses at full gallop around a packed Roman arena, while a towering statue of a winged victory looms over the spectacle in the background. The thundering drama of the hippodrome, rendered with confident linework and Javi Montes's vivid color, makes this an immediately compelling entry point into what promises to be a gripping story of ancient competition and glory.
