Description

Marada has captured the imagination since her first appearance in Epic Illustrated in 1982.  Descended of Caesar, and preceeded by her legendary reputation as a warrior, Marada's adventures carry her across the Roman Empire.  Written by X-Men co-creator Chris Claremont and stunningly illustrated by John Bolton, Marada the She-Wolf is collected in its totality for the first time, in full-color and accompanied by never-before-seen material.

Exquisite comic collection about a fearless warrior Marada, the She-Wolf. You can think of her as a Red Sonja equivalent (albeit with silvery hair - her surname is Starhair) and placed into the historical period of first decade or two AD.

Story is great (a bit short though but nevertheless excellent) and art is ... what can I say. Art is gorgeous and it brought me back to works of Hal Foster but in more epic scale (there are fantastic two page art here that can be framed and hang on the wall). John Bolton is true master of the craft.

Highly recommended for fans of sword and sorcery and especially beautiful art.
I loved these stories when I was a giant fantasy nerd as a teen, but re-reading them they aren't quite as great as I remembered. I'm less enamored of Chris Claremont's style of writing than I was when I was younger (though I still consider him one of the greats for other works). John Bolton's art is good, but again not as great as I remembered. Still, it was a good read for nostalgia and it's nice that Titan collected everything in one volume, though a shame that the character was never developed further.
Um épico da fantasia. Edição linda, o roteiro tem altos e baixos mas vale pelo histórico e pela arte.
É um clássico bacana dos anos 1980 que ganha uma edição caprichada e acabamento de colecionador.
Para quem é fã do gênero "fantasy" e "dungeons and dragons" #Marada é uma das obras que não podem faltar na sua biblioteca.
