Sir Aymar, a knight of great skill and deep honor, journeys the countryside of Middle Age Europe, displaced from his own lands, fighting for his chance to return home and reclaim the towers that are "the tallest and most beautiful in all the land." While visiting a friendly lord, Aymar becomes entangled in a matter of court intrigue, a twisted knot of murder and deceit that threatens to destroy old friendships and innocent lives -- even when truth and honor prevail. Hermann, international comics superstar and creator of Jeremiah, Bernard Prince, Comanche, Blood Ties, and Rodrigo, is one of comics most skilled and versatile storytellers, a master of light, shadow, composition, and character. Few creators of graphic fiction are capable of producing such a sweeping, ambitious work that succeeds so gloriously on so many levels. The Towers of Bois-Maury is Hermann's masterwork, a series of vast scope, breathtaking imagery, and emotional intensity and is another essential Venture graphic album, produced in a beautiful laminated hardcover English-language edition in association with Strip Art Features
