The Guardian of the Spear

A vulgar piece of metal discovered during an archaeological dig in Egypt. Yet it is a piece of a complicated puzzle. Some say that this metal is older than our solar system. The one who successfully reconstruct the original object would be invested with unlimited power. The only listed eutre piece is encrusted in a mythical object: the spear of Longinus. The Spear of Christ. But the one found in the museum of Hofburg in Vienna is a copy. The real spear disappeared at an unknown time in history. 

Our protagonists and the long seeking. Long time. Starting with an officer in Nazi Germany in 1936 and by an archaeologist leading research in the Valley of the Kings. And if these two were brothers? And if they were victims of a curse from their first days? A comic by Ferry and Ersel. The Guardian of the Spear.
