Le vent des Dieux #9

In "Cambaluc," the ninth installment of *Le vent des Dieux*, survivors Tchen Qin and his friend Kaï learn that Tchen Qin’s wife Mara and their infant have been taken by the fearsome General Tête Noire, who plans to gift them to Kublai Khan’s harem. Determined to rescue them, Tchen Qin journeys to the heart of the Mongol Empire, the capital of Cambaluc, where he encounters Marco Polo—offering unexpected aid in his desperate quest. Written by Cothias and illustrated by Thierry Gioux, this issue blends historical intrigue with high-stakes adventure, all rendered in Gioux’s distinctive, evocative style, with cover art by Gioux as well.
