"My only weakness is that I'm TOO stubborn. Like, I will not stop even if 20% of my male population is killed in battle"

"Horizon Carthaginois"– Frida Ben Attia saisit le golfe de Tunis depuis les ruines de Carthage. Un sapin solitaire se détache devant les eaux bleutées, tandis qu'au loin, la silhouette de Boukornine s'estompe dans la brume. Une image où le temps et l'espace se fondent en douceur.

The cover of Philippe Druillet's Salammbô 2 - Carthage, a Lone Sloane story published in 1982, inspired by Gustave Flaubert's book Salammbô. Cover art features a monstrous monument figuring some evil deity, with red eyes and mouth where a fire burns. Tiny human figures seem to be praying below it. Two little reptilian monsters swim in the foreground. A city is seen in the background. Published by Dargaud in their Histoires Fantastiques collection.
