The Rainbow Orchid is a real epic. An old-school quest type of adventure with the heroes traversing the globe. This comic book is written and drawn by Garen Ewing. His artwork is incredibly detailed. He draw in the fine line style. This book tells the story of an expedition to find a fantastic, possibly mythical, orchid, rumoured to grow somewhere in the depths of the Hindu Kush.
It seems an almost impossible task to evoke the ligne claire style without become derivative and flat. Nonetheless pleasantly surprised. The author did remarkable job of creating a fun and engaging story within this genre, The attention to detail is visible everywhere and the book is a pleasure to read.
