About the series
From 2018 to 2025, Dargaud published this four-issue historical drama by writer Fabien Nury and artist Matthieu Bonhomme, a poignant exploration of the tragic life of Empress Carlota of Mexico. The series traces her descent from a hopeful European monarch consort to a figure consumed by madness and isolation following the collapse of her husband Maximilian I’s ill-fated empire. With Bonhomme’s expressive, painterly linework and Nury’s meticulous research, it stands as a quietly devastating portrait of a woman erased by history.
