Richard Leeuwenhart: Het zwaard en het kruis #[nn]

This 1991 Belgian album from Le Lombard brings the legendary medieval king Richard the Lionheart to life in the classic Franco-Belgian tradition, pairing the promise of crusading adventure with the timeless clash of martial and spiritual worlds suggested by its title, The Sword and the Cross. Le Lombard's long tradition of quality historical storytelling makes this an appealing read for fans of richly researched European comics. Without a cover image available, the striking title alone conjures the drama and pageantry of the Crusades era that defines Richard's story.
