Les 7 Merveilles #5

Set against a storm-split sky crackling with lightning, the cover of this 2015 Delcourt album transports readers to ancient Egypt, where the Great Pyramid of Kheops rises in imposing silhouette from the desert sands, a lone figure standing at its base beside a slender palm tree. Subtitled "La Pyramide de Khéops – 2365 av. J.-C.," this fifth volume in the Les 7 Merveilles series promises a sweeping look at one of antiquity's most enduring monuments. The brooding, atmospheric composition makes a compelling case for this French-language series as a grand tour through the ancient world's most breathtaking achievements.
