NBM Publishing Presents
ROHAN AT THE LOUVRE
By Hirohiko Araki
"One of 12 books to look forward to in 2012"
Robot 6- Comic Book Resources

"Setting comics creators loose in the Louvre, and then letting a story come to them that
is inspired by the works they come across. One of the premiere cultural institutions in the
WORLD decided that it would be a great idea to create a "lasting bridge" between their
artworks and the world of comics-and their readers. That's just huge."
Karen Green, Comixology

NBM is proud to announce the newest volume in our Louvre Collection, Rohan at the Louvre by Hirohiko Araki.

After Glacial Period and The Sky Over the Louvre comes another completely original story with stunning art by a leading mangaka.

Rohan, a young mangaka, meets a beautiful mysterious young woman with a dramatic story. Seeing him draw, she tells him of a cursed 200 year old painting using the blackest ink ever known from a 1000 year old tree the painter had brought down without approval from the Emperor who had him executed for doing so. The painting meanwhile had been saved from destruction by a curator of the Louvre. Rohan forgets this story as he becomes famous but ten years later, visiting Paris, he takes the occasion to try and locate the painting. Little does he know how violently powerful the curse of it is until he has the museum unearth it from deep within its archival bowels…
