The collected adventures of Yragael, the doomed prince, and his unfortunate progeny, Urm! Born from chaos, Prince Yragael, is the last hope for Earth.

Reviews

"A mix of myth and psychedelia that recalls H.P. Lovecraft and Michael Moorcock ... This deeply weird discovery awaits lovers of phantasmagorical fantasy comics" - Publishers Weekly "The stunningly complex visual design of Druillet is dizzying feast of surrealism that continues to astound some 40+ years later." - Comics Beat
