La Guerre du Feu #2

A prehistoric world of fire and survival comes vividly to life in this second volume of La Guerre du Feu, adapted from J.-H. Rosny Aîné's celebrated novel. The cover, illustrated by Emmanuel Roudier with colors by Simon Champelovier, places a lone, flame-wielding cave dweller dwarfed beneath the massive, curved tusks of a looming woolly mammoth against a smoldering crimson sky — a striking image of humanity's fragile place in an ancient, untamed world. "Sur les rives du grand fleuve" promises more breathtaking encounters along the great river, and this 2013 Delcourt edition delivers the epic in style.
