Trigan #13

This German edition from Norbert Hethke Verlag collects more of the sweeping saga of the Trigan Empire, written by Mike Butterworth and rendered in full by the masterful Don Lawrence, whose painted artwork brought this civilization to vivid, unforgettable life. The story — "Entstehung und Untergang des Trigan Imperiums," tracing the rise and fall of an entire empire — is exactly the kind of grand, operatic storytelling that made this series beloved across Europe. Unfortunately, no cover image is available here, but Lawrence's meticulous line work and lush color (all his own) are reason enough to seek this volume out.
