Artesia Annual

In this pair of oversized annuals from Sirius Entertainment, Mark Smylie expands the world of his epic fantasy saga Artesia with self-contained stories that deepen the lore of the war-torn, mythic realm of the Known World. Published between 1999 and 2001, these issues offer a standalone entry point into Smylie's richly detailed universe, showcasing his intricate linework and dense world-building outside the main series' ongoing narrative. For readers seeking a taste of his ambitious, historically grounded fantasy, these annuals capture the scope and craftsmanship that made Smylie's work a cult touchstone of independent comics in the late 1990s.
