The Rainbow Orchid: online preview
Welcome to the online preview of The Rainbow Orchid, an adventure story set in the 1920s concerning the hazardous quest for a mythical flower. You can also become a registered reader (it's free) to gain access to the members' area and receive the infrequent exclusive email newsletter.

The Rainbow Orchid is a classic mystery adventure comic strip in the 'ligne claire' school of bande dessinée as developed in Europe by Hergé, Edgar P. Jacobs, Yves Chaland and many others. The story has a very British setting, though a large part of the tale plays out in the Indian subcontinent and its lost valleys. The story will be available in three volumes from Egmont UK, with book one publishing in 2009.
