Betelgeuze #4

Two explorers crouch cautiously at the edge of a massive, organically shaped cave mouth on the alien world of Betelgeuze, while a procession of dark creatures winds its way up the rocky terrain into the mysterious opening above them. Leo's richly detailed cover for this fourth volume, subtitled "Die Höhlen" (The Caves), sets a mood of tense, wide-eyed discovery — lush jungle foliage frames the scene, and a lone bird adds a touch of vivid color against the otherworldly landscape. Published by Epsilon in 2006, this German-language entry in the series looks like essential reading for fans of thoughtful science-fiction adventure.
