Kronieken van de Zwarte Maan #18

The eighteenth volume of Kronieken van de Zwarte Maan arrives with a cover that commands immediate attention: a towering, multi-armed armored entity dominates the composition, its jet-black mechanical form adorned with glowing red gems and billowing amber drapery, flanked by smaller mirror-image figures bound in chains — all rendered with extraordinary intricacy by Fabrice Angleraud and Olivier Ledroit. The title De Troon van Opaal ("The Throne of Opal") promises something suitably grand, and this menacing, symmetrical vision of dark power delivers on that promise before you've even opened the cover. A striking addition to this long-running Dutch-language dark fantasy series from Dargaud.
