Seller's Description:
New. 1561639982. Vol. 6; Color Illustrations; 6 1/2 x 9 1/4; Unpaginated pages; Soft cover has black spine with white lettering. NEW book. Pages not numbered; 46 pages. Originally published in French. Graphic novel has beatiful, vibrantly colored illustrations on every page. The series is a parody of sword and sorcery conventions in general, and specifically of the role-playing game Dungeons and Dragons. All of the characters are either anthropomorphic animals or other strange creatures. The "dungeon" of the title is, in the original series, a business establishment run by a mild-mannered chicken, where heroes come in search of adventure and treasure and invariably die. The timeline in the main continuity is described as the stages of day; the series that lead up to the dungeon's creation are described in the Potron-Minet (Dawn) segment, the castle's glory days are described as its Zénith, and its inevitable decay is described in the Crépuscule (Twilight) stories.
