Les Héritiers du soleil #13

The thirteenth volume of Les Héritiers du soleil arrives from Glénat in 2002 with a cover that's equal parts haunting and beautiful — a gaunt, shadowy figure strides across a desert landscape strewn with crumbling Egyptian ruins, broken statuary, and hieroglyph-carved fragments, while bats wheel through a blood-red sky beneath a pale moon. The atmosphere is unmistakably ancient and ominous, perfectly suited to a series whose very title evokes the mysteries of a solar inheritance. Subtitled Les Enfants de l'ombre, this installment promises that the series' signature blend of Egyptian myth and dark fantasy continues in full force.
