The collected adventures of Yragael, the doomed prince, and his unfortunate progeny, Urm!

Born from chaos, Prince Yragal, is the last hope for Earth. Gods and demons stroll the land, attempting to enforce their authority on the Last Men once more. He falls prey to the queen of Spharain, and from their union comes a son, Urm - a grotesque fool with the potential to redeem mankind.

Reviews

"The stunningly complex visual design of Druillet is dizzying feast of surrealism that continues to astound some 40+ years later." - Comics Beat
