Les Naufragés d'Ythaq #6

The sixth chapter of Arleston and Floch's alien-world adventure series arrives with a cover that immediately commands attention: a determined young woman in a form-fitting purple outfit stands confidently in the foreground, while behind her a blue, clawed creature perches amid lush, towering vegetation beneath a moonlit sky. Adrien Floch's cover art balances an exotic, almost dreamlike landscape — complete with ancient ruins glimpsed through the canopy — against the two very different figures sharing an uneasy coexistence. "La Révolte des Pions" promises plenty of intrigue in this 2008 Soleil release, and the tension visible between the human and the creature suggests the series' rich world-building is very much alive and well.
