Les Naufragés d'Ythaq #10

The tenth volume of Arleston and Floch's beloved French science-fantasy series finds the castaways of Ythaq deep in an alien wilderness, as the cover — drawn and inked by Adrien Floch — presents three striking figures: a lithe, armor-clad woman on the left, a poised dark-haired woman at center, and a muscular bare-chested man crouching in the foreground, all surrounded by gnarled dead trees, soaring creatures, and the looming presence of a massive mechanical or organic hulk behind them. Subtitled "Nehorf-Capitol Transit," this 2012 Soleil release promises a journey between worlds that fans of the series will find both visually lush and narratively tantalizing.
