Thorgal #13

Cinebook's 2012 edition of Thorgal brings English-language readers "Ogotai's Crown," the thirteenth volume in this celebrated European series by Jean Van Hamme and Grzegorz Rosiński. Rosiński's cover art is immediately arresting: two figures — a dark-haired man and a younger companion — loom in the warm amber background, while a third figure dominates the foreground, head tilted back with eyes closed, engulfed in crackling blue-white energy that radiates an unmistakable sense of supernatural power. It's a striking image that captures the blend of Viking grit and otherworldly mystery that has made Thorgal one of Europe's most beloved adventure series.
