Troje #1

A golden-helmeted warrior dominates the foreground of this striking 2012 Dutch-language album from Daedalus, eyes fierce beneath an ornate bronze visor, while behind him a weathered, scarred figure looms large and an army of spear-bearing soldiers stretches into a smoky horizon. "Het Zeevolk" — The Sea People — promises a gripping take on the world of ancient Troy, brought to life through the painterly work of Jarry and Campanella Ardisha. The brooding atmosphere and richly detailed artwork make this first volume an immediately compelling entry point into what looks to be an ambitious retelling of one of history's most enduring conflicts.
