Rodrigo HC (2001 Venture) comic books 2001-2003

1st printing. By HERMANN and YVES HUPPEN. European graphic-fiction master Hermann is known throughout the world for his richly detailed painted art, brilliantly executed composition, and dynamic cinematic approach to storytelling, but his awe-inspiring work is not widely available in the United States. Dark Horse, in association with Strip Art Features now brings English-language editions of Hermann's latest work to American audiences, presented in an oversized graphic album that beautifully showcases his stunning creative skills. Rodrigo is rich period adventure, set in 14th century Spain at a time of social tumult and great political instability, a time of bloody warfare between Christians and Moslems and dark intrigues in the ranks of the Spanish aristocracy. Few works of graphic fiction can match the sheer splendor of Hermann's vision, and Rodrigo is Hermann at his best! Hardcover, 9 1/2-in. x 12-in., 56 pages, full color. Cover price $16.95.
