Messara

Philippe Bonifay and Jacques Terpant’s Messara (2019–present, Silvester) is a three-issue comic series set in the harsh, ancient world of the Messara plain on Crete. This historical narrative explores the clash of civilizations, power, and survival through a richly detailed Bronze Age lens, with Terpant’s evocative artwork grounding the story in a vividly realized past. A compact but immersive saga, it stands out for its focused, atmospheric storytelling from a pair of seasoned French creators.
