Messara #2

Set against the sun-warmed terracotta tones of ancient Minoan Crete, this second volume of Messara draws readers into a world of myth and danger. The cover, rendered by Jacques Terpant, presents a fierce, dark-haired woman in vivid red and gold, clutching a sword with cool composure — while behind her, a charging bull and an acrobatic figure evoke the legendary spectacle of bull-leaping. Writer Philippe Bonifay and artist Terpant have crafted a series that feels both archaeologically rich and thrillingly alive, and "Minos" promises to deepen that world considerably.
