Saga de Xam - Nicholas Devil

\nNicolas Devil and Jean Rollin's 1967 graphic novel opus, a cult classic of high psychedelia available in English for the first time.\n \nIn the annals of alternative comics, few works are as venerated, or as underseen, as Saga de Xam, the legendary French graphic novel by Nicholas Devil and Jean Rollin. Originally published in 1967 in limited quantities, the book earned a devoted cult following for its innovative psychedelic visuals and avant-garde sensibilities, even as it spent decades out of print. Saga de Xam chronicles the adventures of Saga--a blue-skinned female alien on a mission to Earth--as she encounters both the cruelties and the possibilities of human civilization, from prehistory to the Middle Ages to the radical 1960s, but no synopsis could do justice to the book's explosive graphic style, its narrative and linguistic complexity, and its countercultural fervor. Anthology Editions is honored to reintroduce Saga de Xam, a visionary landmark of comics storytelling, in its first-ever English translation.\n
