League of Football Legends

What if footballers weren't athletes like any other? Journey through the legendary world of football with this unique clash of comic art and iconic players.

Watching the best footballers on the pitch-with laser passes that slice the defence in two or the ability to stop an attack dead in its tracks with one pinpoint tackle-you can only wonder if they aren't endowed with superpowers...

Just in time for the World Cup, illustrator and graphic designer Mahamadou Traoré offers us an immersive, image-rich dive into the league of football legends. From young prodigies to cunning strategists, intrepid attackers, "bad boys," or goalkeepers with "iron gloves," rediscover more than 80 football legends, imagined in their superhero guises.
