References[edit]
Saur, King of Granzek, inherited the throne from his older brother, as a nod to Shakespeares version of "Hamlet". On page three Princess Pandora comments on her father's death and simultaneously cements the set-up by saying "Dying while in power is suspicious. Falling on a knife and landing in the eel pool is downright confusing."
In book two Princess Remora and her entourage is searching the royal castle of Granzek as they come across a bust of Huz with the inscription "Le Roi, c'est moi". A quote from Four panels later a bust with the inscription "C'est encore moi." is partially seen.
Background[edit]
The story is written by Éric Stoffel and illustrated by Allart. The colouring was done by Bruno Pradelle.
The books are written during the heyday of the Lanfeust of Troy series and its effect is felt in both the dialogue and artwork.
Sylvin, Lyzgry and Pandoras manners and relationships show similarities to the similar characters in Lanfeust, namely Lanfeust, Cixi and Hébus.
