La ville d'Ys #1

Drawn from the haunting Breton legend of the sunken city of Ys, this opening volume — subtitled La Folie Gradlon — arrives from Dargaud with a cover steeped in brooding atmosphere. A young armored warrior grips a sword between himself and a striking red-haired woman, the two figures standing close against a stormy, wave-tossed sky that sets a mood of tension and mythic consequence. Writer Rodolphe and artist Alzate make an immediately compelling first impression, promising a series with both emotional depth and the grandeur of Celtic legend.
