La Jeune Copte, le Diamantaire et son Boustrophédon #[nn]

This 1988 Dargaud album collects the complete story of a young Copt, a diamond merchant, and a mysterious boustrophedon—a term referring to an ancient writing style that alternates direction. The narrative weaves together their intersecting fates in a tale that blends historical and fantastical elements, characteristic of the era's bande dessinée experimentation.
