Jugurtha #4

Franz's sweeping cover art captures Jugurtha astride a charging horse, purple cape billowing dramatically, sword raised as a golden-haired companion rides close behind on a dark steed — an image that radiates ancient-world adventure. Published by Dargaud in 1979, this fourth volume of the Franco-Belgian series carries Jean-Luc Vernal and Franz's warrior hero toward the intriguing promise of "L'île de la Résurrection." If you enjoy richly illustrated European historical adventure comics, this is a handsome addition to the series.
