Een paus in de geschiedenis #1

The opening volume of Een paus in de geschiedenis plunges readers into the brutal world of ancient Rome, with cover art by Ugo Pinson depicting armored Roman soldiers forcing a bound, bare-backed man to carry a heavy cross — a scene of raw physical tension rendered with striking realism. Writer Pat Perna and artist Marc Jailloux set the stage for the story of Petrus, framed here as a threat to the might of the Roman Empire. It's a compelling and soberly powerful start to what promises to be a richly historical series.
