Johji Manabe's epic tale of war, betrayal, lust, and fancy continues in October as Karula, Dard, Princess Minerva and rest of the Drakuun cast continue with the adventure of their lifetimes in Drakuun: The Hidden War!

Princess Minerva has been fighting a lonely war against the evil sorcerer who betrayed and killed her father, and now she's trapped deep in the ruins of a devastated city behind enemy lines, far from any sign of home or kinship. Only her memories of happier days on Akogiland with Dard and Karula can take Minerva's mind off her misery, but even those might not be enough to get her through this time.

"Manabe doesn't disappoint with Drakuun: The Hidden War," said editor Dave Land after finishing his first read-through of the series. "All the old favorites are back: Karula, Dard, Rosalia, Rua, Masahiko, Chen, and Minerva of course! Plus each issue has a double helping of action and adventure! Even the most finicky of comics readers are sure to love this series!"

Drakuun: The Hidden War is a new six-issue miniseries chronicling the further adventures of Princess Minerva in her quest for vengeance. The first issue of The Hidden War is 32 black-and-white pages of unbridled adventure, available October 28 wherever you buy comics.
