| The Rainbow Orchid: online preview |
Welcome to the online preview of The Rainbow Orchid, an adventure story set in the 1920s concerning the hazardous quest for a mythical flower. You can become a registered reader (it's free) to gain access to the members' area and receive the infrequent exclusive email newsletter.
The Rainbow Orchid is a classic mystery adventure comic strip in the Franco-Belgian school of bande dessinée as developed by Hergé, Edgar P. Jacobs, Yves Chaland and many others, though the story has a very British setting, even if a large part of the tale plays out in the Indian subcontinent and its lost valleys. The story is available in three volumes from Egmont UK (vol 1 published August 2009, vol 2 July 2010, vol 3 early 2011).

"Tightly-plotted, well-researched and beautifully drawn, this book is a real delight. Garen Ewing's mix of engaging characters, exciting old-school adventure, attractive ligne claire artwork and fluid storytelling makes The Rainbow Orchid easily one of the best graphic novels of the year."
