Kronieken van Roncevaux #1

Against a smoldering amber sky, a battle-hardened warrior grips a tall spear and gazes into the distance with quiet resolve — Juan Luis Landa's cover art for this 2021 Daedalus album immediately draws you into the world of medieval legend. Kronieken van Roncevaux opens with "De legende van Roelant," promising an epic retelling of Roland's storied place in history, rendered here with a striking realism that feels both ancient and urgent. Landa handles every creative role himself — writing, drawing, and inking — making this a singular, personal vision of one of the great tales of the Middle Ages.
