The Complete Rainbow Orchid (The Rainbow Orchid)
by Garen Ewing
Winner of the Young People's Comic Award at the 2013 British Comic Awards
The most gripping new comic book series since Tintin.
Follow our hero, Julius Chancer, as he embarks on a hazardous quest for the rainbow orchid – a mythical flower last mentioned by the ancient Greek philosopher, Theophrastus, and steeped in legend. His epic journey takes him from 1920s Britain to the Indian subcontinent and its mysterious lost valleys.
Garen Ewing’s stunning graphic novel series blends classic storytelling and historical drama with cinematic artwork in the same vein as the great Herge.
