De Tempeliers: Bloed en glorie #[nn]

This 1991 Belgian album from Le Lombard brings the world of the Knights Templar to life in De Tempeliers: Bloed en glorie — a title that promises both bloodshed and glory in equal measure. The cover image is unfortunately unavailable, but the subject matter alone — one of history's most dramatic and mysterious military orders — makes this a compelling addition to any Franco-Belgian comics collection. A fine piece of 1991 European bandes dessinées exploring the crusading era's passion and peril.
