Jour J #45

In this 2021 entry in the alternate-history Jour J series from Delcourt, the cover plunges readers into the streets of early 17th-century Paris — a struggle unfolds as a man in period dress grapples desperately with another figure, a gilded royal carriage and armed soldiers visible in the cobblestoned background. The subtitle says it all: 14 mai 1610 — l'attentat contre le roi Henri IV échoue, setting up a fascinating "what if" around the failed assassination of Henri IV by Ravaillac. Writers Duval & Pécau and artist Bianchini bring their signature blend of historical drama and speculative intrigue to this gripping forty-fifth volume.
