Kromneus #[nn]

A battered, bare-chested warrior crouches low in tall golden grass, bloodied and breathing hard, while a vast army bristling with spears and banners stretches across the horizon behind him — Emmanuel Civiello's painted cover immediately sets a tone of desperate survival against overwhelming odds. This 2019 Daedalus release pairs Civiello's richly atmospheric artwork with Jerome Charyn's storytelling in Kromneus, a prehistoric adventure that feels both primal and painterly. If you're drawn to stories of lone figures standing against the tide of history, this one announces itself with real conviction.
