Saladin #[nn]

A commanding figure in golden armor charges forward on a rearing white horse, sword raised against a fiery desert sky, as armies mass on the horizon and the golden dome of Jerusalem glimmers in a frieze above — Roberto Dakar Meli's cover sets an epic, sweeping tone for this 2015 Glénat/Fayard historical series. Writer Mathieu Mariolle and artist Meli bring one of the medieval world's most celebrated military leaders to the comics page, promising grand ambition across battlefields and holy cities alike. Fans of richly illustrated history will find this a compelling entry point into the story of a figure who shaped the fate of nations.
