Debuting in June is the follow-up to 2016's Carthago with Carthago Adventures. This hardcover edition collects all four of the original French-language volumes published between 2011 and 2016 that examine the mythical, monstrous beasts of the Carthago universe. While the original Carthago story was penned by Christophe Bec and drawn by Eric Henninot and Milan Jovanovic, each of the Carthago Adventures features a Bec story shared with a different author and illustrative team.
First up is "Bluff Creek" by Bec and artist Jaouen. Set in 1985 in California, "Bluff Creek" finds explorers hunting for Big Foot while "Chipekwe" by Bec and illustrated by Fafner has London Donovan searching for a prehistoric beast across the world. "Aipaloovik," the third volume in Carthago Adventures, by Bec and co-writer Alcante with art by Brice Cossu and Alexis Sentenac, also focuses on Donovan's mission to capture a mysterious sea beast. Lastly is "Amarok" by Bec and co-writer Giles Daoust, and illustrations by Drazen Kovacevic. Again, Donovan unites with the Centennial Carpathian to find the Amarok, a prehistoric, ancient wolf creature plaguing the snow and ice. Carthago Adventures is a 272-page, full color hardcover that retails for $34.95.
