Roma #4

The fourth volume of Glénat's Roma series arrives with "La chair de mon sang," presenting a striking cover image of a determined woman in Roman dress striding through sun-drenched ancient streets, her robes rendered in deep crimson and gold against the stone colonnades of the city. Above her, a frieze-like arrangement of Roman figures watches from the series logo, lending the scene a sense of fate and ceremony. With Gine's confident linework and Antoine Quaresma's warm, earthy palette, this 2016 entry promises an intimate yet sweeping look at life — and the bonds of blood — in the Eternal City.
