Da Qin #2

The second chapter of this Franco-Belgian historical adventure sends a Roman soldier — clad in gilded armor and a flowing red cape — riding boldly through the gates of an ancient Chinese city, flanked by a mixed company of Roman and Eastern riders beneath a moonlit sky. Writer Olivier Richard, artist Yang Weilin, colorist Ullcer, and cover artist Greg Loté bring real craft to the sprawling cultural collision promised by that title, Le Voyage vers l'Est — "The Journey to the East." Published in 2017 by Soleil's Quadrants imprint, this is historical adventure with genuine scope and visual ambition.
