Gilles Chaillet, a French cartoonist and screenwriter, inspired by history and Italy, created the character of Vasco, who experiences adventures in the turbulent times of the Middle Ages. His comics are not only entertainment, but also a fascinating history lesson, showing the customs, attitude to art and religion, and the mentality of the people of that era. Thanks to his immense knowledge, the author reconstructs the characteristic elements of the era, transporting the reader in time and space.

In this edition you will find three original albums: "The Children of Vesuvius", "The Buried City" and "The Sand Fortresses", which will take you on a journey through the Kingdom of Naples and Morocco. Vasco, on behalf of his uncle Tolomeo Tolomei, takes care of collecting taxes and delivering valuable letters, getting involved in increasingly complicated political and financial intrigues. Will he manage to get away unscathed?

Johan Huizinga, a famous Dutch cultural scholar, described the 14th and 15th centuries as the decline of the Middle Ages, in which medieval thinking reaches its final stage of life. Gilles Chaillet perfectly captures this atmosphere in his comics, showing a world in which the old gives way to the new and the future is full of uncertainty. "Vasco. Book IX" is a must-have for all lovers of history, comics and good entertainment.
