Les trois Julia #1

Part of Delcourt's Les Reines de Sang ("Queens of Blood") series, this 2018 French-language album opens Les Trois Julia with a striking cover that immediately establishes its ancient Roman grandeur. Two women are depicted in regal splendor — a seated young woman draped in deep crimson robes and adorned with a golden medallion, while a statuesque, golden-haired figure looms imperiously behind her amid marble columns and flickering torches. The creative team of Blengino, Sarchione, and Georges brings a lush, painterly quality to La Princesse de la Poussière ("The Princess of Dust") that promises an immersive dive into the power, ambition, and drama of the ancient world.
