A heady perfume of blood and rage across the stars featuring
Philippe Druillet's legendary Lone Sloane. In the third century BC,
mercenaries employed by Carthage during the first Punic War rose
against their employers, who repeatedly postponed their pay. Two
barbarian clan chiefs, Matho and Narr'Havas, fell in love with the
beautiful and ethereal Salammbo, daughter of Hamilcar of Carthage.
A bloody conflict arose. Based on the 19th century novel by
Flaubert, Salammbo was reappropriated and recontextualised by
Druillet in this masterwork. Transposing the ancient Punic Wars
into his space fantasy universe, and splicing the identity of the
novel's Matho with his favorite character, Lone Sloane, Druillet
works his intoxicatingly psychedelic magic on a literary classic,
reinvigorating it from the inside out with his own transcendent
storytelling.
