Alix raconte #1

Part of Casterman's Alix raconte series, this 2008 volume brings together the talents of François Maingoval and Jean Torton to chronicle the life of Alexander the Great. The cover sets a grand, sun-drenched tone: an armored commander astride a dark horse dominates the scene, accompanied by mounted and foot soldiers beneath a dramatic amber sky, while a decorative banner bearing a royal face trails in the wind. It's a handsome, sweeping introduction to one of antiquity's most fascinating figures, filtered through the beloved world of Alix.
