Kookaburra Universe #9

Set against the vast darkness of a looming planet and a sky streaked with spacecraft, this 2008 Soleil entry in the Kookaburra Universe series delivers striking sci-fi spectacle. The cover places a powerful, armored female warrior standing over a fallen, muscular alien figure — a composition charged with tension and aftermath. It's a visually ambitious chapter in this French science-fiction saga, rendered with the kinetic energy fans of the series have come to expect.
