Demon Wind

    (Heavy Metal, 2004)
™ and © 2004 Alfonso Azpiri

Young Gulnare is the least of the Shah’s wives, the lowliest member of his harem. Ironically, she is also the only wife who truly loves him. It is because of this devotion, and her own extraordinary bravery, that she is able to prove her true worth and eventually stand at his side as queen. To gain her reward, Gulnare is forced to overcome many challenges—seductive demons, vengeful sorcerers, torture and disfigurement, the machinations of scorned wives, and even a Demon Queen—but through it all she never wavers in her loyalty to her husband, despite his fickle and easily–influenced heart.

Beautifully illustrated by Aspiri (Heavy Metal) and written by Lovern Kindzierski (Lunatik, Myst: Book of the Black Ships), who describes the tale as the “Arabian Nights meets the Brothers Grimm.”
