Young officer, Franz Bauer, is asked by the leaders of
Xhystos to visit the mysterious city of Samaris and research the rumors that
have been circulating. Several before him had left to explore the city and never
returned. After a long journey by Altiplan and Aerophele, Franz reaches Samaris,
only to find that the rumors he had heard in Xhystos don't compare to the
real secrets held within the walls of this fantastic city. His sanity and the
fate of the other explorers is at stake in this, the first installment of the
now internationally acclaimed THE OBSCURE CITIES graphic novel
series.
This edition, marking the 30th
anniversary of the original English language publication, features an expanded
main story, an all-new creator-approved translation, and new coloring. The book
also contains the never before published-in-English THE MYSTERIES OF PAHRY, a
THE OBSCURE CITIES story, originally published in four different parts, three in
the French Comics magazine, A Suivre, from 1987 through 1989, and in the
December 1994 issue of Macadam-plus.
