Les aigles de Rome #6

The sixth and concluding volume of Enrico Marini's celebrated series arrives with a cover that commands immediate attention — a powerfully built gladiator, clad in bronze armor adorned with a lion's head pauldron and a crested helmet bearing an eagle, stands before a packed arena crowd, his expression radiating grim resolve. Marini's painterly linework gives the figure a sculptural presence that feels both ancient and immediate. Les Aigles de Rome has always balanced intimate rivalry with the sweep of Roman history, and this 2023 Dargaud finale promises a worthy send-off to that ambition.
