Le serpent et la lance

In Le serpent et la lance, a three-issue series launched in 2020, writer and artist Bruno Graff weaves a self-contained story of political intrigue and mythic resonance. Set against a backdrop of clashing cultures, the narrative follows the collision between two worlds—one representing ancient tradition, the other colonial ambition—through the eyes of a French soldier and a Mexican native. Graff’s stark, expressive art and taut storytelling create a tense, atmospheric exploration of faith, conquest, and the cost of empire. This is a focused, historically grounded drama from an independent European creator, notable for its intimate scale and visual power.
