Ravian #12

Two figures huddle together in the foreground, gazing upward in apparent awe at a magnificent tall ship that looms out of a swirling cosmic void — a striking collision of seafaring history and science fiction that captures the spirit of Ravian's time-and-space adventures perfectly. Jean-Claude Mézières's cover art balances delicate linework with dramatic atmosphere, setting an intriguing tone for "De banvloek van Hypsis." This 1985 Dutch-language Dargaud Benelux edition, written by Pierre Christin, is a fine showcase of one of European comics' most celebrated collaborative duos.
