Tärhn, Prince des étoiles #5

The fifth chapter of Bernard Dufossé's French science-fantasy series arrives with a cover that bristles with cosmic menace: a luminous white-clad woman floats at the center while a brooding alien face looms large on the left and a heroic figure stands against a planet-studded sky at right — all overshadowed by enormous, unsettling eyes glowing in the darkness above. The title, Syruls — Menace pour la Terre, makes the stakes plain: Earth itself is in the crosshairs. Published by Glénat in 1981, this installment of Tärhn, Prince des étoiles promises the kind of bold, imaginative Franco-Belgian space opera that made the era's genre comics so compelling.
