Gloria Victis #4

The fourth volume of Gloria Victis arrives from Le Lombard with a cover that places a triumphant young gladiator center stage — arms raised, twin swords gleaming — as a packed Roman arena and galloping chariot horses fill the background behind him. Subtitled Ludi Romani, this 2017 installment by Juanka Fernández, Mateo Guerrero, and Javi Montis promises the spectacle and tension of Rome's grand games in full, vivid color. It's an invitation hard to resist for anyone drawn to ancient-world adventure rendered with real artistic ambition.
