100% Murena #[3]

A cracked marble bust of a Roman figure dominates the cover against a backdrop of roaring flames, making for a striking and evocative image that sets the tone for this 2011 Panini Comics Italian-language collection. Philippe Delaby's cover work — handling pencils, inks, and colors — brings a haunting intensity to the Roman world of Murena with that weathered, fire-scarred visage staring back at you. Subtitled *Rinascita dalle ceneri* ("Rebirth from the Ashes"), this volume promises the kind of brooding, historically rich drama that makes this Franco-Belgian series so compelling.
