Les Naufragés d'Ythaq #11

The eleventh volume of Christophe Arleston and Adrien Floch's sprawling French science-fantasy series arrives with a cover that immediately commands attention: a warrior woman in ornate golden armor sits enthroned, a great sword planted before her, while an elegant dark-clad figure stands at her side — all framed against a luminous underwater vista teeming with exotic sea life and submerged architecture. The subtitle "L'Haleine de l'ogre" (The Ogre's Breath) promises something ominous lurking beneath the adventure's surface. Floch's detailed linework and Claude Guth's rich colors make this 2013 Soleil edition a genuinely striking entry in one of French comics' most visually ambitious series.
