Bruxelles #1

Spanning centuries of history in a single volume, this 2017 French-language graphic novel from Éditions Petit à Petit traces Brussels from its Celtic origins through the era of the Dukes of Burgundy. The cover sets the tone beautifully: a towering armored figure looms in a fiery, battle-scarred sky above mounted warriors riding through a snow-dusted landscape toward a fortified medieval settlement below. It's a sweeping, cinematic composition that promises an epic journey through the deep roots of one of Europe's most storied cities.
