a great volume of this series founder of the Heroic Fantasy. A Vincent Mallié that sublime drawing and managed a tour de force, and a perfectly oiled scenario. The authors manage this feat of a prequel as dense and successful as the mythical mother series. I am very surprised at the comment that this book of 64 pages dense reads well in 10 minutes, this is certainly not the Blake and Mortimer but I have to read very slowly because I loved it longer than that.
