At the beginning of spring, the proud tribe of Amazons celebrates the Flower Festival each year, a solemn ceremony of life and fertility essential for their progeny. As they do every year, the warrior women abduct dozens of men to bear the next generation of the tribe. Only Penthesilea, the young queen of the Amazons, once again fails to find a worthy husband. Not far away, however, lies the city of Troy, where a war has broken out over the Greek princess Helen. And a warrior favored by the gods, named Achilles, catches Penthesilea's eye... In "The Heart of the Amazons," the versatile author Geraldine Bindi blends two well-known myths of antiquity into a cocktail that is as sensual as it is epic. Veteran artist Christian Rossi ("XIII Mystery"), who impressively demonstrates his talent for vivid illustrations, captures Bindi's new myth in enchanting images. comic 2018 New
