ABLAZE is shining the spotlight on the wide variety of genres and fantastic works within our catalogue! Our Spotlight on Fantasy includes two comic titles - The Fairy Universe and The Dragon Universe - bundled together under a specially discounted price. In The Dragon Universe: Dragons reign above the eternal snows or in the depths of the abyss... They are marvelous, magical, malicious creatures... But where do these winged creatures with sparkling scales and fearsome claws come from? This collection of illustrations on the theme of dragons brings together the best illustrators and comic book authors from around the world, from John Howe (The Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia), to Todd Lockwood (Dungeons & Dragons), Olivier Ledroit (Chronicles of the Black Moon), Adrian Smith (Warhammer), and more... They've pooled their talents in a Tolkien-style universe where dragons coexist alongside other fantasy races, resulting in this illustrated encyclopedia, which combines an extraordinary history of dragons, with gorgeous, fully painted art that captures every majestic and fearsome detail of these wonderful, scaly behemoths! In The Fairy Universe: Our world is made up of mysterious and elusive spirits: the Elves and the Faes. Once we accept this evidence, we still have to recognize them, approach them, and sometimes be wary of them... It took our illustrator all his dexterity to be able to approach them, sketch them, and give us this guide to the most remarkable Faes and Elves. The Fairy Universe offers the reader the keys to this magical and poetic world through hundreds of drawings by renowned artist Olivier Ledroit, laid over double-page spreads in stunning watercolor and pencil, with illuminating words by Olivier and Laurent Souille. A MUST for illustration geeks and fantasy fans alike!
