Reine d'Égypte #8

Volume 8 of Chie Inudoh's Reine d'Égypte presents one of the series' most arresting images yet: a pharaonic figure draped in golden regalia, nemes headdress, and elaborate jewelry cradles a human skull with quiet, unsettling intimacy. Inudoh's watercolor-tinged linework lavishes every detail — the jeweled collar, the beaded bracelet, the piercing green eyes — with the same careful attention, making mortality and majesty feel inextricably bound. Published by Ki-oon in 2021, this volume promises the same richly researched aesthetic that has made this French-edition manga a genuinely compelling window into ancient Egypt.
