Bathory - La comtesse maudite #[nn]

A deep crimson cover sets the tone for Anne-Perrine Couët's graphic retelling of one of history's most infamous figures: the silhouette of a noblewoman's profile looms over a meticulously detailed hilltop castle, the two images merging as if the woman and her domain are inseparable. An ornate border of botanicals, skulls, and strange totems frames the title, giving the whole composition the feel of a dark illuminated manuscript. Published by Steinkis in 2022, Báthory: La comtesse maudite promises a visually striking and atmospheric portrait of the cursed countess herself.
