Crusades

In the wake of the First Crusade, a soldier returns to find his homeland transformed by religious fervor and political upheaval, setting the stage for a dark, historical fantasy from French publisher Les Humanoïdes Associés. This 2010–2012 miniseries, spanning three issues, blends visceral medieval action with supernatural elements, exploring the cost of faith and power. Writer and artist collaborate to craft a grim, atmospheric tale that reimagines the era’s brutality and mysticism. A concise, potent work that stands out for its European comics pedigree and unflinching historical vision.
