Les Naufragés d'Ythaq #5

The fifth volume of Arleston and Floch's interplanetary adventure series arrives in 2007 with a cover that crackles with raw energy — a fierce, flame-haired warrior woman brandishes a broad blade in one hand while clutching a glowing mechanical artifact in the other, all set against a roiling inferno of orange and gold. Adrien Floch's cover work gives her an air of absolute determination, poised at what "L'Ultime Arcane" — The Ultimate Arcane — promises to be a pivotal moment. If you've been following the castaways of Ythaq, this installment looks like exactly the kind of fiery reckoning the series has been building toward.
