Illustrierte Klassiker Sonderband #23

Part of BSV Hannover's Illustrierte Klassiker Sonderband series — devoted to world history, myth, and storytelling — issue #23 brings the Carthaginian general Hannibal's legendary campaign against Rome to vivid life. The cover plunges readers straight into the chaos of ancient battle: a massive war elephant rears up amid a swirling clash of soldiers bearing shields and swords, while a commander surveys the carnage from a howdah atop the beast, all rendered against a fiery golden sky. Writer Javier Peñalosa Calderón and artist/inker Delia Larios deliver a story that promises all the drama and scale of one of antiquity's most audacious military confrontations.
