Histoire dessinée de la France #10

From the Histoire Dessinée de la France series comes this lively volume covering the tumultuous period from Catherine de Médicis to Henri IV — brought to life by writer Jérémie Foa and illustrator Pochep. The cover says it all: a crowd of cartoon Renaissance figures — nobles, clerics, and soldiers — clash in gleefully exaggerated fashion, brandishing crosses, swords, and staffs against a bold yellow and blue backdrop. Sacrées Guerres (Holy Wars) promises an entertaining and sharp-eyed look at France's Wars of Religion, blending historical substance with Pochep's wonderfully irreverent caricature style.
