CARTHAGO UK ED - Softcover

"I was so damn entertained I couldn't stop reading. The writing is bananas and the art is just plain awesome. This is like Jaws meets Heavy Metal comics. I hope they make more." - Forces of Geek "Put simply this is the kind of comic to become utterly lost within and would be worthy of the term "unputdownable" if such a word existed." - SciFiNow "This one is one of the tops-and you need to grab it." - AiPT! "Both the simple and the complex panels are striking in Carthago, combining brutality with beauty." - ICv2 "Carthago goes inside instead of out to find its mysteries and madness. So far under the waves, so close to the center of the Earth, it might as well be in space. There is still as much to discover on our own planet as there is outside our solar system. The fear of darkness in this book, it's not of the alien -- it's primal." - DoomRocket "A captivating series! ...Enough can't be said about the absolutely flawless work of Eric Henninot. His classic and realistic style is the source of magnificent scenery. " - Actua BD "Moreover, the underwater scenes are superb and stunning. Always spectacular and cinematic." - Sceneario.com "And therein lies the strength of this writer: with each sequence, magic happens." - Chronicles De L'imaginaire "Bec deftly constructs his story, creating a well-researched puzzle whose pieces come together at different times to form a disturbing picture of our future. He continually manages to intrigue us while making impossible events credible." - BD Tresor
