Samaris (Obscure Cities)

Against the urging of his friends and his lover, Franz, a young officerÂ in the Xhystos government, is sent on a mission to the remote andÂ elusive city of Samaris to investigate the disappearance of several ofÂ his colleagues.

After weeks of travel, Franz reaches Samaris, to find a practicallyÂ deserted city of enveloping and deceptive architecture. He isÂ immediately bewitched by a mysterious young woman, drawing theÂ suspicion of the other residents. Can Franz escape the impendingÂ doom of this sprawling metropolis?

The first in the Obscure Cities series, The Great Walls of Samaris wasÂ originally published in Europe in 1983 and in the US in 1987 by NBM.Â The story has been slightly altered to include characters who appearÂ later in the canon, and reveal Peeters' Kafkaesque storytellingÂ prowess. Schuitenâ€™s art in this edition has been reworked to be muchÂ truer to the originally intended color palette, and includes 32 additional pages of early Obscure Cities stories, comprising theÂ Mysteries of PÃ¢hry, never before published in English.
