About the series
In this French historical comic series published by Delcourt from 2008 to 2017, writer Pierre Makyo and artist Alessandro Calore explore the tragic saga of the Cathar heresy in medieval Occitania. Spanning seven issues, the series delves into the religious persecution, political intrigue, and human cost of the Albigensian Crusade through a grounded, character-driven lens. Calore's evocative artwork brings the rugged landscapes and tense atmosphere of 13th-century Languedoc to life, while Makyo's script balances historical detail with personal drama. Je suis Cathare stands as a thoughtful, visually rich entry in European historical comics, offering a nuanced perspective on a little-known chapter of religious conflict.
