“Du Sang pour le Pape”

About this Collection

This volume collects the first half of the epic historical saga 'Borgia', chronicling the rise of Rodrigo Borgia to the papacy as Alexander VI and the ruthless political machinations of his family in Renaissance Italy. Written by Alejandro Jodorowsky and illustrated by Milo Manara, the story delves into the corruption, intrigue, and scandal that defined the Borgia dynasty. 'Du sang pour le pape' covers the early events of the series, setting the stage for the family's quest for power and influence.

A dark, richly illustrated tale set in a shadowy Renaissance world, Borgia #1 (2004) brings together the creative vision of Alejandro Jodorowsky and Jean-Michel Boschet, with striking artwork by Milo Manara, whose distinctive style defines the issue’s moody, sensual atmosphere. The story, titled "Du Sang pour le Pape," features characters from the Borgia family in a dramatic, historically tinged narrative. The cover, also by Milo Manara, complements the interior’s intense visual tone.
