Sang Royal #1

Alejandro Jodorowsky and artist Dongzi Liu launch Sang Royal with "Noces Sacrilèges," a 2010 Glénat series that immediately announces its grand, violent ambitions. Dongzi Liu's cover depicts a blood-streaked warrior woman in battered plate armor, white hair whipping across a stormy sky as she raises a sword above a chaotic battlefield swarming with combatants behind her — a striking image that signals both ferocity and defiance. With Jodorowsky's pen guiding the saga and Liu handling pencils, inks, and color entirely on his own, this first volume promises the kind of operatic, visually lush medieval drama that fans of bold European bande dessinée will find hard to resist.
