Yragael and Urm the Mad

The collected adventures of Yragael, the doomed prince, and his unfortunate progeny, Urm!

Druillet is my favorite 70's French underground artist. He is one of the founding fathers of Metal Hurlant, the French sci-fi comics magazine for adults that set the tone for much of our visual culture in film, TV and comics. This long overdue reissue is one of the most epic stories in scale. Born from chaos, Prince Yragaël, is the last hope for Earth. Gods and demons roam through the lands, trying to take mastery of the Last Men. He falls prey to the queen of Spharain, and from their union comes a son, Urm: a grotesque fool with the potential to redeem mankind. A visually stunning work by the grand master of baroque science fiction.
