Murena

Set in the brutal, decadent world of ancient Rome, Murena is a sweeping historical saga from Dargaud that follows the rise of the emperor Nero and the shadowy figure of Lucius Murena, a man driven by vengeance. Launched in 1997 and ongoing, the series is defined by the powerful collaboration of writer Jean Dufaux and artist Philippe Delaby, whose richly detailed, atmospheric artwork brings the empire’s political intrigue and violence to life. With 13 issues and counting, it stands as a cornerstone of European historical comics, offering a gripping, tragic narrative of power, betrayal, and destiny.
